This event is part of the new program 'Memory Barometer,' an initiative focused on prevention and assessment for individuals over 55 years of age.
The project aims to detect early signs of memory loss, offer guidance, and teach practical techniques for memory care and improvement. The initiative, which will be held at Plaza San Juan, nº 4, has the collaboration of the Hinojosa del Duque City Council.
Interested individuals over 55 can book an appointment by calling 673 359 252, where they will be attended by a General Health Psychologist. Participation is encouraged for this initiative, which is crucial for the well-being of the elderly.
