Become A Memory Screening Site
AFA’s National Memory Screening Program works with more than 1,500 sites across the country to provide free, community-based memory screenings. These quick, noninvasive, confidential screenings, consisting of a series of questions and/or tasks which test cognitive functions, are an important tool to detect a potential memory problem. If you’re interested in making this important screening service even more accessible to your community, we invite you to become an AFA memory screening site!
