Let’s Talk About Brain Health
June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness Month, a time to raise awareness about dementia, memory loss, and proactive brain health. With over 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s, it’s never been more important to talk openly about cognitive wellness.
At Link Primary Care, we support families in St. Louis by offering early detection, trusted guidance, and compassionate care plans for those facing memory-related conditions.
Understanding Alzheimer’s and Related Dementias
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive brain disorder that affects memory, thinking, and behavior. While it’s the most common form of dementia, other types include:
- Vascular dementia
- Lewy body dementia
- Frontotemporal dementia
Symptoms may include:
- Memory loss disrupting daily life
- Confusion with time or place
- Trouble following conversations
- Mood or personality changes
- Difficulty completing familiar tasks
Early Detection Makes a Difference
There is no cure for Alzheimer’s—but early detection is important, and treatments are available. This can slow progression, allow for planning, and improve quality of life. At Link Primary Care, we:
- Perform memory screenings and cognitive assessments
- Monitor at-risk patients regularly
- Coordinate care with neurologists and specialists
- Support family caregivers with resources and referrals
- Offer affordable care ($99/month for adults with unlimited visits)
Our team of physicians and medical assistants provide continuity of care and compassionate support throughout the journey.
