Dementia Friendly Des Moines Metro is committed to engaging businesses throughout the Des Moines Metro to become Dementia Friendly Businesses. In addition, we will encourage individuals to become Dementia Friends & Champions, furthering our efforts to raise awareness and promote dementia friendly practices across the Des Moines Metro area. Our focus will include engaging key sectors, such as healthcare providers across the continuum, faith communities, community-based services and supports, and a broad range of Des Moines Metro businesses. Through these efforts, we aim to create a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals affected by dementia.
