This conference will review and expand upon the recommendations from the “National Research Summit on Care, Services, and Supports for Persons with Dementia and Their Caregivers” being held in Washington, DC in October 2017.

The Summit Co-Chair, Katie Maslow, MSW, Visiting Scholar, The Gerontological Society of America; and the Summit Advisory Committee member, Sarah Lenz Lock, JD, Senior Vice President for Policy, AARP, will serve as keynote speakers. In addition, a panel of local researchers and service organizations will discuss how innovations in the care-related research and quality services underway in northeast Ohio are responding to and informing recommendations from the National Summit.
