Awareness about treatment options for depression, anxiety and other mental health concerns is increasing across Rural America, but awareness about the options to treat brain health issues such as concussions, brain fog, dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease aren’t as prevalent. Tiffany Hoeft is a speech-language pathologist, board certified neurofeedback specialist, certified brain injury specialist and owner of Minds Matter in Aberdeen. In this episode, she talks with DRG Media Group, Pierre, News and Farm Director Jody Heemstra about being able to prevent damage caused by dementia if you start early enough.

Hoeft received the “Healthy Rising Star Award” from South Dakota First Lady Sandy Rhoden during an awards luncheon in January 2026. You can find more information about the work done by Tiffany Hoeft and her team by calling 605-725-2828 or going to www.mindsmatter.life.
