Dementia Engagement, Education and Research (w88 online casino betting) Program

In October 2018, with the recognition that dementia is a public health priority, the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) School of Public Health launched the Dementia Engagement, Education and Research (w88 online casino betting) Program, under the leadership and direction of Dr. Jennifer Carson, a critical gerontologist who is internationally recognized for her award-winning dementia education programs for professional and family care partners. Guided by an "authentic partnerships" approach that directly engages persons living with dementia and family and professional care partners in all research and education activities, the w88 online casino betting Program Initiatives aim to leverage partnerships and collaborations in an effort to improve the culture of dementia and dementia care practices in Nevada and around the world.

The w88 online casino betting Program Initiatives currently leads a number of innovative research, education, and community-based initiatives.
