Nice communication! February 23 Lecture "How to deal with dementia" learned from actor Manabu Yamamoto and family doctor

　On Friday, February 23, at Nishi public hall, we invited actor Manabu Yamamoto and Yamamoto's family doctor who is famous as a specialist in dementia prevention, to hold a lecture on the theme of "How to deal with dementia."
　During the cold light rain, 577 people who greatly exceeded the capacity of public hall came to the event. Mr. Manabu Yamamoto heard a very deep story about how he has been dealing with him since he was diagnosed with mild cognitive impairment, and that he is actively valued to live. Dr. Takashi Asada talked about specific and easy-to-understand stories about preventing dementia from becoming more severe, including efforts at his own clinic, as well as initiatives at his own clinic.
　Momoko Eguchi, a navigator, drew out a wonderful story of the two, and finally the poetry reading by Manabu Yamamoto was read, and 90 minutes ended in a flash.
　From the participants, positive comments such as "I understood dementia positively and understood that it was not despair," "I was impressed by the words that I can live today," and "I would like to practice Dr. Asada's prevention story." I received many impressions. I would like to thank you as the organizer.
　Nishi Ward aims to be a city that is friendly to dementia, Nishi Ward, and will continue to carry out a variety of programs related to dementia.
