Unlock your mind, enhance your life: Empowering brain health for a brighter future!
Free Event | Lunch included | Saturday, October 21 at ICOM | 9 a.m.— 4 p.m.
OUR MISSION
The mission of the Brain Health Symposium is to identify and learn strategies to promote a healthy, functioning brain, and improve overall quality of life. Brain health is a critical piece of holistic wellness, as it underlies our ability to communicate, make decisions, problem solve, and live a productive and full life. Due to the brain controlling so much of our daily activity it is arguably the single most important organ in the human body.
