Dr. Anna Chodos, Geriatrician and Executive Director of California’s Dementia Care Aware initiative, brings top experts together to discuss clinical dementia care. Dementia Care Aware helps primary care teams to detect and manage dementia earlier so people living with dementia and the people who support them can live their lives with dignity. Check out our training programs and resources at DementiaCareAware.org Dementia Care Aware is co-led by the California Department of Health Care Services and UCSF.
