Dementia Friends University

We have partnered with Dementia Friendly Iowa to offer college students our Dementia Friends University program that will increase knowledge and empathy for providing care to people with dementia when you enter the workforce. 

"I think this training is important for us as nursing students because we need to learn how to communicate with dementia patients. "
