The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America will host a free online educational conference for Nevada residents on April 6 from 10 a.m. to 12:45 p.m.

Sessions include the following:
• Dr. Dylan Wint with Las Vegas’ Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health will speak on the relationship between Alzheimer’s disease and COVID-19.
• Gerontologist Jennifer Carson with the School of Public Health at the University of Nevada, Reno will speak on “Celebrating Life Through Meaningful Activities.”
