The opening session will feature Patricia Ribbich and Charlene Smith who will speak on “American Indian Culture: Identification & Treatment of Alzheimer’s.” Ribbich is a retired social worker from Milwaukee and is Ojibwa and Ottawa. Smith is a retired registered nurse and a member of the Oneida Tribe.

To close the afternoon, Dr. Christopher Koeppl, from Ministry Medical Group in Rhinelander will speak on ‘Understanding the Other Dementias.’ Koeppl specializes in internal medicine and was responsible for establishing the Northern Wisconsin Memory Diagnostic Clinic in Rhinelander.
