About National Memory Screening Day

National Memory Screening Day is one of the highlights of the Alzheimer's Foundation for Caregiving in Canada's (AFCC) ongoing national effort to promote early detection of Alzheimer's disease and related illnesses, and to encourage appropriate intervention, including medical treatments, social services and other resources. AFCC believes that memory screenings are a significant first step toward early diagnosis by a qualified health care professional.

AFCC carries out this event in collaboration with organizations and healthcare professionals across the Canada bringing them together for care. Participating sites offer free confidential memory screenings, as well as follow-up resources and educational materials to those concerned about memory loss.
