A free quarterly support and educational series for people and families living with mild cognitive impairment (MCI).
Healthy Living with MCI classes offer attendees support, guidance and science-backed strategies for living and coping with a diagnosis of MCI. Nathaniel Chin, MD, a memory clinic doctor with UW Health and medical director of the Wisconsin Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (ADRC), is the medical director of the series. Participation is free and available to attend at a host site or online via Zoom.

MCI is an intermediate stage between the expected cognitive decline of normal aging and the more pronounced decline of dementia. Learn more about MCI on our website, watch recordings of past programs on our YouTube Channel or listen to the following Dementia Matters podcast episodes:
