World Alzheimer’s Month falls in September each year. During the month, advocates aim to create more awareness about the disease. Because Alzheimer’s and other forms of dementia are common and affect over 50 million people around the world, it is important to raise awareness of how to recognize symptoms, risk factors involved, and the current treatment available for individuals.

Every month in September, we observe prostate cancer awareness month. Prostate cancer is the most common type of cancer occurring in men aside from skin cancer. In many cases, individuals do not present any symptoms until cancer has progressed. It is important that we promote awareness about prostate cancer and prostate cancer screenings to help individuals with early detection and overall prevention.

This month, we are shining a light on one of our talented Speech-Language Pathologists, Renée Losey! Renée obtained her Bachelor’s in Psychology from Nevada State College in Henderson, NV before moving to Reno, NV to pursue a Master’s in Speech-Pathology and Audiology.

Our featured team member this month is Robert Buhl, COTA!

Robert has worked as an occupational therapist assistant or in a similar position in the industry for 21 years. He has worked for 13 years full-time and the remainder part-time.

We’re excited that our team has began servicing the Northern Nevada communities this month/ We looking forward to working with new clients and helping them to achieve maximum independence in their lives.

This month we are featuring new grad and occupational therapist, Arian Wiesen. Arian joined Tilton’s Therapy after obtaining her state licensure and has worked for the company for about 4 months. She is enjoying the work and the people she interacts with throughout the day. (I’d say this is a great start to her first occupational therapy job).
