PHCOE-DC Webinar: Elevating Dementia Caregiving as a Public Health Priority
The BOLD Public Health Center of Excellence on Dementia Caregiving (PHCOE-DC) is holding a webinar on November 19, "Elevating Dementia Caregiving as a Public Health Priority."
The number of people in the U.S. living with dementia and the family members and friends that care for them continue to rise, yet dementia caregiving remains an emerging public health priority. This event will highlight recent work by the National Alliance for Caregiving funded by The John A. Hartford Foundation that addresses how and why dementia caregiving is indeed a public health concern. The webinar will conclude with a discussion panel that reflects on how we can ensure that dementia caregiving becomes and remains a public health priority.
Panelists include:
- Michael R. Wittke, BSW, MPA, Vice President, Research & Advocacy, National Alliance for Caregiving
- Sandy Markwood, Chief Executive Officer, USAging
- Robyn I. Stone, Sr. Vice President, Research & Co-Director, LeadingAge LTSS Center @UMass Boston
- Heidi M. Holt, Public Health Advisor, Alzheimer's Disease and Healthy Aging Program
