| Event: | Assessing and Addressing Pain |
| Location: | City University, Bldg F, Rm 16; 150 - 120th Ave, Bellevue WA 98007 |

People with dementia have a greater risk of experiencing unrelieved pain, which in turn can worsen confusion. How can we identify, assess and respond to pain in people with dementia, particularly if they are unable to accurately tell us what they are experiencing? This class will address these issues and provide tips for improving comfort for those with pain.
The class is hosted by Overlake Hospital and presented by the Alzheimer's Association. It is free of charge but registration is required. To register, call Overlake Hospital/Community Education at 425-688-5259.
