Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month
June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month
June is Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness month, and it is time to raise awareness about the impact Alzheimer's disease has on millions of lives each year.
Did you know Alzheimer’s disease is the 6th leading cause of death in the U.S.? It affects more than 6 million Americans, and that number is expected to increase as the population ages.
At MedNOW, we are committed to helping you understand, prevent, and manage these conditions to help you achieve the best quality of life possible.
If you think you or a loved one may be showing some early indications of Alzheimer's, there are a few signs you can look for:
• Memory Loss
• Confusion
• Difficulty completing Familiar Tasks
At MedNOW, we can offer you cognitive assessments, support, resources, and memory screenings to help detect and manage Alzheimer's.
This month, let’s take the opportunity to learn more about brain health, raise awareness, and ensure that we are taking proactive steps for our cognitive wellbeing.
If you would like to schedule an appointment to look at your mental and cognitive abilities, please call your MedNOW Clinic, or you can schedule your appointment online through our website.
The CDC
provides excellent information on Alzheimer's and other brain diseases and health methods.
If you need assistance scheduling your appointment, call your MedNOW clinic. Our staff members are always willing to help!

At MedNOW Clinics, we are committed to caring for the whole person, supporting not only your medical needs but also the challenges that may impact your overall well-being. We are proud to share a valuable resource available to our community: the Colorado Patient Care Fund (CPCF). The CPCF is dedicated to improving access to healthcare by assisting individuals with costs related to both medical needs. Many patients in our community face barriers such as high medication costs, lack of insurance, and the inability to afford high co-payments and durable medical equipment like walkers, wheelchairs, and oxygen tanks. These obstacles can significantly affect a person's ability to maintain their health and quality of life. Examples of support offered through CPCF include: • Assistance with the cost of medications • Assistance with the cost of office visits • Help with purchasing medical equipment and supplies • Coverage for primary care and specialist appointments Our Mission: We aim to remove barriers to high-quality health care by providing patient-centered support and treating every individual with excellence in care, service, and access. If you need financial assistance, you may be eligible to apply for aid through CPCF. Our goal is to help you focus on your health without the added burden of unaffordable care. Additionally, if you can give to the CPCF, your generous donation can make a meaningful impact on the lives of Colorado families. Every contribution helps patients get the care they need and deserve.
