Understanding Dementia: A Challenging Journey

Saturday, Mar 1
8:30am
Fellowship Hall

Join us to learn more about
dementia and helpful resources with Maribeth Gallagher.

Come learn about dementia and how it progresses from early to advanced stages. We will show you how to develop strategies to make and maintain meaningful connections with a person with dementia. We’ll explore ways to reduce stress and further the value of the caregiver role.

Dr. Gallagher directs Hospice of the Valley’s Dementia Program, which has received national and international awards for its innovative approaches to dementia care. She is a psychiatric nurse practitioner with a doctoral degree in nursing. Her commitment to improving dementia care was initially inspired by her own experience as a family caregiver, sharing the journey with her loved one from diagnosis to death.
