Mission and Vision

The Massachusetts General Hospital Dementia Care Collaborative is committed to improving the experience of patients and families living with Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias by changing the way our healthcare system understands and treats these individuals. A resource for patients, families, and clinicians, the Dementia Care Collaborative provides comprehensive education, clinical co-management services, and emotional and social support to all navigating the complex journey of dementia.

The Dementia Care Collaborative is part of the MGH Division of Palliative Care & Geriatric Medicine and is an umbrella for the Dementia Caregiver Support Program and the Memory Care Program. The Dementia Care Collaborative has been funded by the generosity of supporting individuals and by the Center for Women, Wellness & Wealth, Inspired by Berkshire Bank; the Bresky Foundation and the Satter Foundation. Please give today to support our mission to transform memory care.

“Persons living with dementia and their caregivers face new challenges each step of the journey. The Dementia Care Collaborative supports patients and caregivers by offering education, support and guidance during each stage of the illness.”
