What does keeping our minds healthy as we age actually look like?
That`s the question residents explored with the @healthyboston this month in a conversation about dementia, the misconceptions around it, and the everyday habits that support brain health.
The Boston Public Health Commission didn`t just walk us through the research. They helped separate the myths from the facts and stuck around to answer resident questions one-on-one.
Housing gives you a place to live. A strong community gives you connection, trusted resources, and opportunities for well-being at every stage. 🧠💛
