Community Outreach

The Einstein Aging Study (EAS) offers a variety of services that go beyond the scope of research. These services include community outreach and educational programs.

Outreach The doctors and professionals associated with the EAS provide the community with lectures and discussion groups. These talks are given at local senior citizen centers and primarily focus on aging and memory function.

EAS weekly support groups provide family members and friends with effective ways of coping with individuals who have memory impairment.

Participants enrolled in the EAS have access to our physician referral list. These physicians have proven to be effective in dealing with various medical conditions associated with aging.

The professionals associated with the EAS provide information to the media to keep the public informed of research advances.

Educational Awareness The EAS offers a complete in-house library of educational and informational materials concerning Alzheimer's and other degenerative neurological disorders.

Aging and Discovery, the EAS newsletter, provides a review of our study's activities. It is also a forum for sharing information about EAS research with the public. Families and subjects enrolled in the EAS are placed on our mailing list.

The EAS cooperates with the Alzheimer's Association and other such organizations to provide various services and education to families.
