The AGECaring Friends Program will present “Magic & the Brain” at 11:30 a.m. on Oct. 7 as part of its new Facebook Live Series.
To access the live presentation, go to https://www.facebook.com/uamsagec. The AGECaring Friends Program will be held the first Wednesday of every month at 11:30 a.m. on the AGEC Facebook page.
The program is organized and supported by the Arkansas Geriatric Education Collaborative (AGEC) at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS). It uses monthly Facebook live sessions to provide social support, activities, conversation, and fun for older adults and caregivers.
“Magic & the Brain” will be presented by Christopher T. Westfall, MD, UAMS College of Medicine dean and executive vice chancellor. Westfall, a professor of ophthalmology, will discuss the correlation between magic and the brain and demonstrate with fun magic tricks.
The COVID-19 pandemic presents challenges of social isolation and loneliness for older adults. AGECaring Friends aims to support social health and decrease feelings of isolation and loneliness.
