Penn Memory Center (PMC) Executive Director Felicia Greenfield appeared on NBC10 recently for an interview with PMC patient and former Temple University professor Jeff Draine.
The two discussed his early-onset Alzheimer’s disease and the importance of positivity after receiving a diagnosis.
“Improving a person’s quality of life is the best thing we can do right now, not only for the person with the diagnosis but also for their family members,” Greenfield said.
All adults, regardless of cognitive status, should be a brain-healthy diet (“the more colors on your plate, the better,” Greenfield said) and should seek an evaluation if memory problems go beyond ordinary.
