Brain Fitness Academy (BFA) is a ministry of the First United Methodist Church of Winter Park and open to serving community members experiencing early memory loss related to Mild Cognitive Impairment, Alzheimer’s disease, or other forms of dementia. Twice a week, members meet for four hours to participate in activities that exercise the mind and body.

Members of the academy report that the bonds they form with others facing similar challenges make their journey just a little easier. They enjoy camaraderie with their new friends and benefit from the thought-provoking activities and physical exercises facilitated by professional staff members.
