Dementia Friendly Iowa is a volunteer-driven initiative. There are so many ways get involved. We need everyone’s voice at the table to help make our state more dementia friendly: people living with dementia, family, past or current caregivers, professionals in the field of aging, students, business owners, government agencies, neighbors, and friends. Everyone, from all sectors of the community, is welcome to join in the efforts!
