Early Stage Workgroup

As diagnostic tools become more sophisticated and the benefits of early diagnosis recognized, more people are being diagnosed with Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) or early Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia. The Early Stage Services Work Group is a group of professionals and community members whose goal is to create an early stage memory loss and dementia service continuum to meet the needs of this growing and underserved population.  Members attend monthly meetings eager to learn, network, and collaborate together.  If you are interested in planning and implementing innovative and creative programs and services for individuals with early stage Alzheimer’s disease or related dementia please contact David Goldberg, Early Stage Services Coordinator:
