Connected Along the Brain Coast
We’re all part of a
brain health network, connected along

Train the Brain month offers ways for you to engage in that network.
Join Palm Health Foundation throughout October as we offer FREE opportunities to practice hands-on learning and practical applications for better brain health in our daily lives.
