Community Health Workers: A Key Support For People Living With Dementia And Their Caregivers

Event Description: 

In this webinar, attendees will learn about two programs that use community health workers to help achieve program goals. Community health workers provide support services to people living with dementia and their caregivers, including home wellness and safety checks, helping the community understand and access services, and lead dementia-focused interventions. Studies have shown that community health workers can improve health outcomes and decrease hospitalizations.

Speakers:

  • Alicia Nielson, clinical social worker at the WellMed Charitable Foundation, San Antonio, Texas.

  • Constantina Mizis, executive director of The Latino Alzheimer's and Memory Disorders Alliance (LAMDA), Chicago, Illinois.
