Testimonials from past participants:
"We have so enjoyed the Institute's webinar series. The ability to link into the monthly videoconference from Moorings Park in Southwest Florida has afforded us access to top notch speakers and improved our knowledge base immensely. All of this has helped our team to provide better care for our most vulnerable seniors. Thank you for making this opportunity available. Such technology can improve the level of health care throughout the country. No longer is location a barrier to academic expertise."
- Michael Gloth, MD, Chief Medical Officer, Moorings Park Retirement Community, Naples, Florida
"Over the past ten months, our nursing staff have marveled at the Institute's webinar series. They look forward to more learning, as each topic is not only uniquely interesting, but the speakers are engaging as well."
-Bonnie Mahon, RN, BSN, MSN, CMSRN, CNA-BC, Senior Director, Medical/Surgical & Senior Services, Holy Cross Hospital, Silver Spring, Maryland
"I have been subscribing to the Dementia Grand Rounds for the last two years and have been fortunate to hear some excellent presentations, with helpful accompanying handouts. Each session features speakers who are not only experts in their field, but also passionate, engaging teachers. Programs are easy to access, and the Institute staff are efficient and responsive, despite the fact that I live in a very different time zone. I haven't found anything similar to this series in the UK, either in quality of breadth of subject matter."
- Rosamund Johnson, PhD, London, UK
