June is recognized as Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month, a period dedicated to raising awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other forms of dementia, and promoting brain health. This month-long initiative aims to educate the public, support those affected, and encourage proactive steps to maintain optimal brain health.

According to the CDC, the top-five working signs for Alzheimer’s are as follows:

1. Memory loss that disrupts daily life: forgetting events, repeating yourself or relying on more aids to help you remember (like sticky notes or reminders).
2. Challenges in planning or solving problems: having trouble paying bills or cooking recipes you have used for years.
3. Difficulty completing familiar tasks at home, at work, or at leisure: having problems with cooking, driving places, using a cell phone or shopping.
4. Confusion with time or place: having trouble understanding an event that is happening later or losing track of dates.
5. Trouble understanding visual images and spatial relations: having more difficulty with balance or judging distance, tripping over things at home, or spilling or dropping things more often.

If you have concerns about you or one of your loved ones brain health, reach out to us today to schedule an apt to see your provider! We're here to help!

We are writing to inform you that Alyssa Best will be leaving our practice to pursue new opportunities. Alyssa has been with us since she was a student in 2021 and we are sorry to see her go. At this time, her plan is to leave at the end of June. Alyssa has been a valued member of our team at Carroll Family Medicine and we wish her all the best in her future endeavors.

We understand that continuity of care is important, and we want to assure you that we are actively seeking a qualified nurse practitioner to join our team. We hope to welcome a new provider within the coming weeks to ensure that your healthcare needs continue to be met without interruption. Carroll Family Medicine has always had a female provider available for
those patients who prefer that option and we will continue that tradition.
In the meantime, our dedicated staff remains available to assist you with any questions or concerns you may have. If you would like to schedule an appointment or discuss your care plan please contact our office at
(410) 239-0406.

Thank you for your understanding and continued trust in our practice. We will send out an announcement as soon as we have found a replacement.
