Transforming Memory Care
Through education, collaboration, and supportAfter my husband’s Alzheimer’s diagnosis, the DCC support group helped me cope with my new responsibilities and accept the uncertainty of what’s to come."
About the Dementia Care Collaborative
The Collaborative was created to educate and support patients, caregivers, healthcare providers, and the community. Dedicated team members offer opportunities for learning and connecting across the hospital and into the community at large, with the goals of teaching new ways of understanding dementia, how to best communicate and partner with those living with dementia and to offer support and guidance for caregivers to feel empowered to foster their own wellbeing and resilience.
Upcoming Events
DCC Programming Time Pilot: January–March 2026
Beginning in January 2026, we will be piloting a new meeting time for our Conversations with Caregivers and Health & Resiliency programs. From January through March 2026, both programs will be held 8:00-9:00 AM.
This pilot is intended to explore whether an earlier morning time better meets the needs of our community. We encourage you to join us during the pilot period and share your feedback as we evaluate this new schedule.
