Join us for a conversation addressing how Alzheimer’s and other dementia disproportionately impacts the African American community in Pittsburgh and ways to address it. Together we will learn about dementia, community resources and the importance of early detection while listening to the voices of caregivers and community leaders. AARP volunteers will be on-site sharing resources. Refreshments will be served.

This June, the Alzheimer's Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter will host a two-day "Unforgettable" event, which will bring this touching stage play by visionary filmmaker Garrett Davis to Pittsburgh.

Gdavis Productions has been touring the country and raising awareness for Alzheimer’s disease and caregiving in communities of color for more than 13 years with the critically acclaimed stage plays "Forget Me Not" and "Mama’s Girls."

Over the last decade, "Forget Me Not" toured over 27 cites in 10 states in an attempt to close the health disparities gap in underserved and disproportionately affected communities. AARP volunteers will be on-site sharing resources.
