Innovations in Dementia and Alzheimer's Research and Care

CICOA's 4th annual Faith Summit aims to provide updates on the progress being made in dementia research and how faith plays a crucial role in caring for our community members affected by Alzheimer's disease and related dementia.

Agenda Highlights:
  • Engage in open discussion on changes happening in dementia research.
  • Hear from experts, persons living with dementia and care partners.
  • Explore the exhibitors at the resource fair.
  • Take charge of your health with a cognitive screening.

The Faith Summit is an annual event sponsored by CICOA that brings together faith community leaders and volunteers, providers and community stakeholders for a half-day session. The Summit provides an open discussion format about issues facing older adults and how faith communities can support them. During each session, participants can hear from experts, ask questions, and have small group discussions around actions they can take to better address these needs.

Be sure to check out the exhibitor fair and get connected to resources!

Registration is free, thanks to the support of our sponsors. Join us to celebrate ways to partner and support seniors in our community!
