Our approach incorporates innovative health services and implementation research, with a focus on workforce training and education, ensuring that healthcare teams and community organizations are well-equipped to address the unique needs of people living with dementia, their caregivers, and their communities.

A future where Hispanic/Latino communities are equipped with the tools and knowledge to prevent and effectively manage Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias, and where everyone receives the right care, at the right time, in the right place
