Dementia affects millions of people in the U.S., and there are about 400,000 older adults living with dementia in Texas. In rural communities, health care providers have an urgent need for additional dementia training. To address this need, the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center (TTUHSC) Garrison Institute on Aging (GIA) and the TTUHSC F. Marie Hall Institute for Rural and Community Health are offering a 6-part, 1-hour virtual learning series on dementia care for providers.
First, what is dementia and why do rural areas present challenges when treating dementia? Our team of guest experts answer that question and more. Guests for this episode are: Jonathan Singer, Ph.D., director, GIA Memory Comprehensive Memory Clinic; Erin Baker, Project ECHO Coordinator; and Janie De La Cerda, Project ECHO Coordinator.
