WCLO's Stan Stricker reports on National Memory Screening Day

More and more families in Rock county are being touched by Alzheimers.

Tammy Pence with the Alzheimer's Support Center of Rock County suggests more people take part in a screening earlier. She says current treatments are much more successful the earlier they are started. Pence would like to see Alzheimer screenings become more routine like other medical tests. Tuesday is National Memory Screening Day.

A day Pence says anyone with questions should consider contacting her office.
