WILLIAMSPORT - Albright LIFE Lycoming-Clinton, the area's only adult day health center, will host a combined session of its monthly caregiver support groups from 6:30 to 8 p.m. on April 17 at its facility at 901 Memorial Ave., Williamsport.

She will also explain health conditions and other risk factors for Alzheimer's disease as well as the benefits of early detection.
