Normal Aging with Dr. Shellie William, UChicago
Wednesday, July 8, 12–1pm Central via Zoom
While everyone's experience with aging is different, there are some common physical, physiological, and psychological changing that we may expect to encounter. What does normal aging look like and how is normal or typical aging different from pathological aging?
Dr. Williams is an Associate Professor of Medicine at the University of Chicago and a geriatrician who provides care at the University of Chicago’s Outpatient Senior Health Center at South Shore. Dr. Williams brings her expertise on dementia and other important health topics to SHARE Network’s Healthy Aging Events as a community educator. She is also responsible for developing the Dementia Resource Champions Program as well as other ongoing health initiatives.
Chicago Hyde Park Village's free Zoom Drop-In series is held every 2nd Wednesday of the month. All are welcome! Invite a friend!
