A free hot lunch, screenings and parking in the hospital garage will be provided.
Registration is required, call 412-664-2306 or visit UPMC.com/Classes.
WHY: Late-life depression in adults is often dismissed, overlooked or misdiagnosed by caregivers and health care professionals alike. Untreated, depression increases the likelihood of disability, illness, social isolation and heightened anxiety.

WHEN: 12 to 2 p.m., Thursday, Feb. 20.
WHERE: UPMC McKeesport, The Usman Ahmad, M.D. Memorial Conference Center, Mansfield Building, First Floor, 1500 Fifth Ave., McKeesport, Pa., 15132.
