Setting boundaries can help you avoid burnout and also reinforce who you are as a person and what you need to remain healthy.

Healthy boundaries reinforce our expectations for how we want to be treated. These boundaries are important to put in place for friends, family and coworkers.

Dressed in their finest, ready to dance. For patients and caregivers impacted by dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, this night celebrates presence, not absence. It’s a special Senior Prom and a chance to reclaim joy.

"When we bring people together in a setting filled with art, music and laughter, we’re nurturing more than memory—we’re fostering dignity, love, and a sense of belonging for every individual," says Dr. Roopa Anmolsingh, lead geriatrician for community programs and creator of our ReFRESHing Memories Cafes. “Managing memory loss is not just about treatment. It’s about creating moments of joy and connections while remaining active mentally, physically, and socially. These experiences help patients and caregivers feel seen, valued, and supported."

Mary Sue has embraced Dr. Anmolsingh’s guidance about staying active. She says she’s taking life day by day. And on prom day, she and her daughter-in-law shared laughter and raised their arms in celebration at the Cleveland Public Library, where the event was held. It wasn’t about forgetting a diagnosis. It was about creating a moment worth remembering.

The prom is one of the monthly events in the ReFRESHing Memories series, organized by our Center for Geriatric Medicine, with the support of the Cuyahoga County Public Library and The Carolyn L. Farrell Foundation for Brain Health. These programs offer meaningful activities, educational resources, and social opportunities for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other dementias, as well as their family caregivers.

Dancing runs in Betty’s family. When the music started, she didn’t hesitate to take the dance floor in her pastel flower dress with her heels clicking and arms swaying to the rhythm as if time had never touched her. She shares she loves her doctor.

These gatherings turn care into community, offering moments that strengthen relationships and lift spirits.

No matter your age, there’s a benefit to using the practice of mindfulness to find calm within the chaos. And taking time to recenter and refocus is not an activity exclusive to adults.

Teaching your child to embrace mindfulness can give them coping tools to navigate life’s twists and turns. Start early, be honest and set a positive example to help them understand the benefits of the practice.

This Thanksgiving, we’re proud to partner with University Hospitals to bring turkey dinners and grocery gift cards to over 4,000 families in need.
A heartfelt thank you to our volunteers and partners for helping us make a difference in our community this holiday season.
Cleveland Clinic prepared and delivered turkey dinners to neighbors in Akron, Canton, Cleveland, East Cleveland and Lodi. Each meal included mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, a roll and apple pie.
The annual Thanksgiving giveaways are part of a broader strategy by both institutions to address social drivers of health. By leveraging their resources and community partnerships, Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals are working to close gaps in access to nutritious food across Northeast Ohio.
