Two Alzheimer’s experts will come together in Austin late this month to discuss the purpose of the Alzheimer’s Association and the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center.
The talk will be held 6 p.m. Tuesday, May 29 in The Cedars of Austin community room. Kristin Sjolie and Charlene Martin-Lillie will teach attendees about the variety of support and services individuals with Alzheimer’s and dementia and their families and friends can find at the two organizations.
Sjolie began as a southern Minnesota program manager for the Alzheimer’s Association of Minnesota-North Dakota in January. Before that, she worked as the caregiver educator for Mayo Clinic Health System in Waseca. Martin-Lillie has been with Mayo Clinic since 1998 and started with the Alzheimer’s Disease Research Center in 2008. She is an education coordinator and co-facilitates support groups and a memory club in addition to dementia day seminars.
