June is Alzheimer's and Brain Health Awareness Month

A Note from JImmie Plaskey, CFP®  Private Wealth Advisor At EWM:


I wanted to take a moment to share with you that June is Alzheimer's and Brain Health Awareness Month. As you may know, I am involved with and a board member of the Michigan Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. Alzheimer's is the sixth-leading cause of death in our country. It's a more deadly disease than breast and prostate cancer combined.
