This group is open to those living with Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s or other forms of memory loss as well as their care givers.
The meeting will be led by medical director Dr. Rahul Gupta. He will discuss memory loss as a symptom of these illnesses while covering the latest research and treatment information.
Gupta will also provide advice on how people living with these diseases and their care givers can deal with certain stresses associated with memory loss.

A question-and-answer session will follow the group meeting.
The Watermark is located at 3030 Park Ave. in Bridgeport.
