I’ll be Me” Film Screening & Community Discussion

About the Film: In 2011, music legend Glen Campbell set out on an unprecedented tour across America. He thought it would last 5 weeks; instead it went for 151 spectacular sold out shows over a triumphant year and a half. What made this tour extraordinary was that Glen had recently been diagnosed with Alzheimer’s disease. He was told to hang up his guitar and prepare for the inevitable. Instead, Glen and his wife went public with his diagnosis and announced that he and his family would set out on a "Goodbye Tour.” The film documents this extraordinary journey as he and his family attempt to navigate the wildly unpredictable nature of Glen’s progressing disease using love, laughter and music as their medicine of choice. Special appearances include Bruce Springsteen, The Edge, Paul McCartney, Blake Shelton, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley, Taylor Swift, Steve Martin and Chad Smith among many others.

Private Memory Screenings

Take a proactive approach to your brain health! Memory screenings do not provide a diagnosis. They test your memory, language skills, learning and other cognitive abilities by asking a series of questions and having the participant perform a few problem-solving tasks.

Why Get a Memory Screening? If you are aged 50 years or older, screening for memory or other cognitive impairment should be part of your yearly health regimen for a few important reasons, including enabling you and your physician to take a proactive approach to your brain health, and taking the first step in educating yourself about brain health and memory
