A proud moment for the LiveWell community! 💚

Today, Ellen Sue Moses, Empowering Partnerships Network Ambassador, and Michael Smith, President & CEO, were featured in the Mission Moment during the keynote at the LeadingAge Annual Meeting in Philadelphia.

Their candor about brain health, the importance of inclusion, and the need to move beyond a purely medical framework of dementia care was both inspiring and powerful. They reminded us why it matters to center people, honor lived experiences, and reimagine what living well with dementia can look like.

So proud of Ellen Sue, Michael, and the entire LiveWell community for helping lead this important conversation! 💚
