👩‍👧‍👦💜 Happy Parent Appreciation Day! 💜👨‍👧‍👦

Parents pass down more than love — they also pass down our family history, including genetic factors that can influence health. One gene known to increase the risk of Alzheimer’s disease is APOE4.

If Alzheimer’s runs in your family, consider talking with your healthcare provider about your family history and whether genetic counseling or early screening might be right for you.

Today, we honor the strength of parents and families navigating these challenges — and reaffirm our commitment to research, education, and support.

At HealthPartners Center for Memory and Aging, we’re working to protect memories for generations to come.

Thank you to all parents — your legacy and love inspire everything we do.

🍫✨ Happy World Chocolate Day! ✨🍫

Did you know that dark chocolate isn’t just delicious — it might also be a little brain-friendly? Rich in antioxidants and flavonoids, it’s believed to support cognitive health and boost mood.

While chocolate alone isn’t a cure, small joys like these remind us how important it is to nurture our brains — and our hearts.

At HealthPartners Center for Memory and Aging, we’re dedicated to making every memory as sweet and lasting as chocolate.

So today, indulge a little, share a smile, and support the fight against Alzheimer’s.

On this Independence Day, we reflect on what freedom means — including the freedom to remember.

Thanks to recent breakthroughs in Alzheimer’s research — from earlier detection tools to new treatment options — we’re inching closer to a future where memory loss is no longer inevitable.

But the journey isn’t over.

As we celebrate our nation’s independence, we also honor the resilience of those living with Alzheimer’s, and the families who stand beside them every day.

Because true freedom includes the ability to hold onto the people, stories, and moments that define us.

🧠🎉 Happy International Joke Day! 🎉🧠

Laughter may not be the cure, but it sure is good medicine — especially for the brain.

Here’s a joke to brighten your neurons:

Q: Why did the neuron bring a suitcase?
A: Because it wanted to travel down memory lane!

At HealthPartners Center for Memory and Aging, we’re serious about memory — we’re working to make sure memories don’t fade — through research, support, and a little bit of humor along the way.
This , share a laugh, make a memory, and support the fight against Alzheimer’s.
