Members of the Virgin Islands Alzheimer’s Association (VIAA) attended worship service on Sunday at St. Ursula Catholic Church on Virgin Gorda, where they were joined by the Minister for Health and Social Development as part of the observance of World Alzheimer’s Month. This year’s observance is being held under the theme: “The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do: A Dementia Diagnosis Matters.” The occasion provided an opportunity to raise awareness about dementia, encourage early diagnosis, and remind our community of the importance of understanding, supporting, and caring for persons living with dementia and their families. 💜 #TheEarlierYouKnowTheMoreYouCanDo #DementiaDiagnosisMatters #AlzheimersAwareness #CaregiverSupport #BVICommunity #CommunityAwarenessMatters
