“Health for a Lifetime,” a yearlong series of free workshops presented by the city of Phoenix Human Services Department Senior Services Division and St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, will present health information for older adults and the community.

The next free workshop will be “Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus: The Untold Story!” from 10:30 a.m. to noon Friday, June 6, at Goelet A.C. Beuf Senior Center, 3435 W. Pinnacle Peak Road.

Dr. Susan Borgaro, director of Neuropsychology, and Maggie Varland, registered nurse, St. Joseph’s Hospital, will offer information about Normal Pressure Hydrocephalus (NPH), a neurological condition that normally occurs in adults 55 years and older. One quarter of a million Americans with some of the same symptoms as dementia, Alzheimer’s or Parkinson’s actually may have NPH. Attendees will learn about NPH and its symptoms, causes and treatment. Refreshments will be provided.

Another workshop will be “Stroke: No Time to Lose,” from 12:30 to 2 p.m. Friday, June 13, at South Mountain Community Center, 212 E. Alta Vista Road.

Lucy Ranus, RN, will offer information about the warning signs and symptoms of a stroke and why it is important to get to a nearby designated stroke center. She warns that many minutes could pass before symptoms of a possible stroke occur. Refreshments will be provided.

Future monthly workshops will focus on nutrition, cardiac care and the latest cancer cures. The workshops are free and open to the public and support the mission of the Healthier Phoenix Initiative. For more information, call 602-534-0576.
