PA Health & Wellness (PHW) Health Equity Specialist, Tiesha Grundy, facilitated a partnership between The Delaware Valley Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association? and William Way Community Center in Philadelphia to deliver a presentation on Alzheimer’s and Dementia to a group of senior citizens. The engaging discussion inspired seniors to share their experiences as caregivers, wanting to improve processes for end of life services and wanting to learn more about how to reduce risks to developing Alzheimer’s and Dementia. Health recommendations included healthy eating, using cognitive skills and exercise. One of the participants shared that he is turning 75 years old and had returned to school. When his teacher asked the class about why they are back in school, many of the seniors shared that they wanted to avoid getting Alzheimer’s and Dementia. PHW is proud to support healthy aging of seniors in our community.
