Dementia-Capable North Carolina: A Collective Impact Kick Off Event for Wilmington/New Hanover
Dementia is the only disease without a cure or any successful treatment, and the disease has a significant social and financial impact on our community.
With support from AARP and the North Carolina Institute of Medicine, the North Carolina Department of Health and Human Services and the Cape Fear Area Agency on Aging presents a "kick-off" event to introduce local stakeholders to Dementia-Capable North Carolina.
Join us on March 29 to start a conversation about ways that Wilmington area stakeholders can support business, residents, health care providers, and social service organizations and move Wilmington toward becoming a Dementia Capable community.
