Alzheimer's Disease Program

Description

The goal of the Sacramento County Alzheimer's Disease Program is to increase access and use of existing resources for those providing care for older adults with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD). The program focuses on promoting and providing support to:

Educate on brain health and cognitive aging
Increase access to community resources
Conduct a community needs assessment
Increase capacity for primary care practitioners to engage patients with ADRD

This program is partnered with various local organizations to effect change at an individual, community, and policy level. The program includes training, resource guides, collaborative efforts, and community input.

Sacramento County Alzheimer's Disease Program is currently funded by the California Department of Public Health (CDPH) Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI). Funding is allocated through June 2022.
