No single organization owns, finances or controls the initiative. The collaboration works toward five goals while fostering a health equity perspective: • Identify and invest in promising approaches that reduce costs and improve care. • Increase detection of Alzheimer's disease and improve ongoing care and support. • Sustain caregivers by offering them information, resources and in-person support. • Equip communities to be "dementia capable" to support residents who are touched by Alzheimer's disease. • Raise awareness and reduce stigma by engaging communities. Communities around the state are using the Dementia Friendly Communities Toolkit to create a supportive environment for people living with Alzheimer's and their families. An update on the Chanhassen ACT on Alzheimer's initiative will be provided this evening.
