“Embracing Aging” series launched by St. John’s Health Living Center

St. John’s Health announces the launch of a series of virtual talks on aging and memory change. Presented by the staff at the award-winning Living Center and the new Sage Living senior community, the “Embracing Aging” series will cover ways to engage, connect with, and soothe as we travel with a loved one on the dementia journey.

The series kicks off on Thursday, January 21 at 6 pm with “The Power of Music,” which will provide an intimate look at how music therapy helps residents at the Living Center and how it will be an integral part of Sage Living, the new senior living community in Jackson Hole.

The live-streamed talk will be presented by Wyoming’s only board-certified neurologic music therapist specializing in long-term-care, Hilary Camino, MSc, MT-BC. She will be joined by Sage Living’s director of community relations, Beth Furlong, RN, BSN. There will be a Q&A at the end of the 30-minute presentation, including how music can be used to help all families facing memory change.

To sign up for “The Power of Music,” and to get the link to the virtual talk, go to www.stjohns.health/embracingaging. Production support is generously provided by the Center for the Arts.
