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.
