SOUTHBURY — The Watermark at East Hill will host the John Hopkins School of Medicine’s Peter V. Rabins, M.D., MDH, for a presentation on dementia and Alzheimer’s disease.
The event will be from 5 to 7 p.m. on Monday, June 9, at the senior living community, 611 East Hill Rd. Dr. Rabins is a professor of psychiatry at the Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, specializing in psychiatric disorders occurring later in life.
