Yesterday, Megan Zimmerman shared about the Dementia Friendly Iowa initiative at the Dementia Care Summit. The Summit's purpose was to convene key stakeholders to network and explore ways to coordinate efforts for improved care and services for people living with dementia and their caregivers.

The event was hosted by the Alzheimer's Association Iowa Chapter, Iowa Department on Aging, Iowa Department of Health and Human Services, and University of Iowa College of Public Health. Thank you for hosting!

We are grateful for state leaders from all sectors working together to build a better state for people living with dementia and their caregivers.

We asked attendees from past Dementia Friends Sessions how they have been using the information learned from the session.

A family caregiver shared, "I learned new ways to better care for our mother. Things I learned at the seminar made living with someone with dementia a bit easier."
