“Nutrition, Hydration, Brain Health & Well-Being”

Fearrington Cares Education Program 

GP Large Room

Have you ever wondered how a healthy diet and good hydration affect your brain health? Are you concerned about a loved one’s ability to stay well-nourished? Are you the primary caregiver for a parent or spouse with Parkinson’s, dementia, or other chronic conditions?

Join us as your concerns are addressed by Dr. Serena Wong, Senior Fellow of the Center for the Study of Aging and Human Development (Duke University School of Medicine) and her colleague, Elizabeth Brown, Speech Language Pathologist (Duke Regional Hospital).  Dr. Wong is interested in patient and family education.  She strives to help her patients make informed decisions about every aspect of care, taking into account their personal preferences and priorities. She and Ms Brown have partnered for years to educate patients, caregivers, and other healthcare professionals, and to improve the nutrition and hydration of older adults.
