Is a Loved One Showing Signs of Memory Problems? TIME TO TALK ABOUT DIAGNOSIS.

It can be tough talking to a loved one about symptoms that might suggest Alzheimer’s Disease or a related dementia. But delaying diagnosis can lead to a host of issues, both for the person and those who care for them.

Georgia Memory Net (GMN) offers a guide that can help you have that difficult conversation in a productive and supportive way. You can find it at https://bit.ly/GMN_ConversationGuide.

If you or a loved one are ready for clarity on the underlying cause of memory symptoms, visit GaMemoryNet.org/referrals to learn how to get a referral to a GMN Memory Assessment Clinic for an accelerated, accurate diagnosis.

Dear Friends,

April has arrived, and now that spring is blooming, many of us are spending more time enjoying the outdoors, whether we’re participating in social events with friends, taking hikes or cultivating our gardens.

This month, we’re bringing you a special lineup of programming from PBS commemorating Earth Month, which occurs each April. From special episodes of American Experience to NOVA, one of the themes of the programming is how to preserve and grow the use of our natural resources.

And speaking of resources and growth, we know that some of the greatest assets we have are the relationships we’ve cultivated with organizations and experts we partner with to produce documentaries such as the riveting Crisis of Substance, educational programs like a new episode in our Live Explorations series or to host a workshop focused on perinatal mental health. You can read about each of these initiatives in this month’s GPB Extra, GPB Education and GPB in the Community sections respectively.

In the GPB Radio section, we share this year’s theme for our annual Spring Fund Drive – “I Heard It on GPB,” which begins April 18 and is inspired by the stories listeners share about how much they value the news and information they get from GPB.

Like Earth Month, GPB Radio’s Spring Fund Drive shines a spotlight on our most valuable resources – in this case – it’s you, our donors - but we are grateful to you all year long, knowing that everything we accomplish is because of your support.

However you engage with us, whether you’re watching, listening or learning across our platforms, we hope you know you can count on GPB as a trusted resource.

Warmly,

Bert Wesley Huffman GPB President and Chief Revenue Officer
