Brain Health

At Northeast Iowa Community College, we believe that brain health plays a crucial role in our overall well-being. Recent insights highlight that 22% of employers in our area recognize brain health as a significant personal challenge for their workforce.* We are committed to empowering our communities by enhancing brain health education and resources. Over the years, we have brought high-caliber speakers such as Sean Astin, Glennon Doyle and Cy Wakeman to the region with valuable and actionable insights on brain health topics.
