Since June is Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness month, the NCe Live Well Committee went “purple” to support and honor our relatives and/or friends who have been affected by the cause.

NCE Live Well Committee constructed a wall in a common walking area that included some facts about Alzheimer’s from ALZ.org and we laid out cards for people to complete to show why they went purple for Alzheimer’s and Brain Awareness.

We also had North Central FRC complete mental workouts in order to “love your brain” by completing a crossword puzzle from for a chance to win a prize and just challenge themselves!

“Did you Know?!” fact sheets were also sent to the office that included sources from alz.org on what type of foods to eat to boost your brain health and tips and information on “10 Ways to Love Your Brain.” This also included how to achieve key lifestyle habits not only for your brain, but for your overall wellbeing.

We are very proud of this project and learned a lot about brain health!
