MEETING THE CHALLENGES OF AGING — PART 2: COGNITIVE ASPECTS OF AGING
Monday, February 9
10:00 AM
Snow date: Wednesday, February 11
Nicolet College, Northwoods Center 207-209
Instructor: Dr. Christopher Koeppl
Hybrid: In-person and Zoom
Dr. Chris Koeppl returns to build on his November discussion of the physical challenges of aging with this presentation dealing with cognitive issues. Among the many questions he will answer: What can we expect to notice about our brain function as we age? What changes, if any, in memory could be considered age-appropriate rather than early dementia? What differentiates dementia from such changes? What types of dementia are there, and how do they differ? What diagnostic evaluations or tests can diagnose cognitive impairment or dementia and how should they be used? Bring your own questions and an open, accepting mind to this class. Aging is not for sissies, but it helps to know as much as possible about the challenges we may encounter.
Dr. Christopher Koeppl is a retired internal medicine physician with nearly 40 years of clinical experience in the Rhinelander and Crandon area. He earned his medical degree with honors from the University of North Carolina and completed post-graduate training at the University of Iowa Hospital and Clinics. He is a fellow of the American College of Physicians. For 25 years, Dr. Koeppl served as a founding member and the lead physician in the Northern Wisconsin Memory Diagnostic Clinic, with a focus on memory and cognitive impairment. He has special interest in the difference between normal aging, diseases or conditions more common in older adults, and dementia. Dr. Koeppl began his practice in Rhinelander in 1986 and often remarks on his privilege of growing older alongside his patients.
