Last month, our Board President Dr. Tahisa Colbert and Board Member Dr. Breannie Charles attended The Mama Joe Project event and documentary screening at ULL.

The Mama Joe Project is a multimedia and outreach initiative focused on aging and care for elders with Alzheimer disease and other dementia. The issue is growing in significance as the world’s population of people 60 years and older is estimated to double by year 2050.

Closer to home, we know that Alzheimer's impacts many members of our community here in SWLA. Learn more about The Mama Joe Project: https://www.mamajoeproject.com/
