Today's Talk with a Doc program was enlightening and useful. Dr. Clements of Cahaba Medical Care presented information regarding dementia, and participants engaged in a question and answer session. Diane Blaylock's catering skills were showcased through the delightful food served.
Join us for another great session next Wednesday, June 3, 2026.
