The Rotary Club of Tiger Mandaluyong and the Zonta Club of Makati Legaspi conducted a Mental Health and Fighting Disease project for more than 200 senior citizens entitled “A Healthy Mind in a Healthy Body: Mental Health and Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness” held on September 21, 2024, at Jose Fabella Memorial School, Mandaluyong City.

Past President Carmie Oyales and President of Zonta Club of Makati Legaspi, talked on addressing the growing concerns of Alzheimer’s disease and offered preventive measures, early detection strategies, and ways to cope with the challenges of the disease.

Beyond the talks and medical awareness, the senior citizens, along with the Barangay representatives and police officers were treated to “taho and mamon” ensuring everyone was refreshed and well-fed, further enhancing the warmth and sense of community during the activity.
