Does Sudbury Public Health Nurse Offer Memory Screenings?

Answer

Yes. Take advantage of a free, confidential memory screenings with Phyllis Schilp, R.N., Sudbury’s Board of Health Nurse and Bethany Hadvab, MSW, Town Social Worker at the Senior Center.

Memory screenings are a significant first step toward finding out if a person may have a memory problem. Memory problems can be caused by Alzheimer’s disease or other treatable medical conditions. A memory screening is not used to diagnose any particular illness and does not replace consultation with a physician or other qualified healthcare professional.  

Just before November each year, please look on the Senior Center’s website at https://sudburyseniorcenter.org/ for upcoming memory screening days. Or in September or October contact the senior center at (978) 443-3055 and ask if you can schedule an appointment for a memory screening in November. You may also reach the Sudbury Board of Health Nurse, Phyllis Schilp, at (978) 440-5477.
