Knowledge
is power
—Sir
Francis Bacon (1597)
Brain fitness is the hot
topic among today’s healthy seniors and their families. Maintaining
a "fit" brain, however, requires much more than just puzzles,
brain exercises and computer games. Brain Fitness becomes Brain
Wellness only with the addition of the real facts about memory
and aging brains. The Brain Wellness Series provides this “Power
of Knowledge” through a lively, comprehensive 12-part weekly
course, broadcast into communities committed to fostering an
environment that enriches healthy mature minds.
 The Brain Wellness Series offers a solid understanding of the exciting, new discoveries emerging from neuroscience and provides a foundation of hope that will inspire personal and community-wide action toward brain wellness. Designed to engage and educate older adults, their families as well as professional caregivers, this course is delivered via live broadcasts hosted by Roger Anunsen, a nationally recognized leader in brain wellness and aging.

The 2005 White House Conference on Aging (WHCoA) is the fifth
WHCoA in history. Its purpose was to make recommendations to the
President and Congress to help guide national aging policies for
the next ten years and beyond. The 2005 WHCoA focused on the aging
of today and tomorrow, including 78 million baby boomers who will
begin to turn 60 in January 2006.
White House Conferences on Aging (WHCoA) are
decennial events designed to develop recommendations for additional
research and action in the field of aging. Over the course of
the 20th century, approximately 35 conferences carrying the name
of the White House have been held.
Two resolutions were specifically aimed at “applying”
and “promoting evidence-based research.” The conference
delegates felt that when research on aging issues showed promise,
and when it is “evidence-based” such as the clinical
trials on MemAerobics in 2002, there should be an active and even
urgent call to “apply” such research to those in need
of help and, where appropriate, our government and private partners
should also “promote” the implementation of such programs.
One of the highlights for MemAerobics participants
(and all older adults and their caregivers) was the posting the
following implementation strategy:
Where appropriate, apply evidence-based cognitive
intervention research to prevent, slow or reverse decline in functional
abilities.
