On Friday, October 4, Trellis hosted the Dementia Friendly Changemakers Summit to celebrate a decade of Dementia Friends Minnesota and to chart the course for the future of dementia-friendly work.
Attendees heard from The Connection Cure author Julia Hotz about creating health-generating communities, and a panel of dementia friendly changemakers from across the state shared resources and potential partnership opportunities. Minnesota has not only become a leader in dementia friendly community efforts but has also set a standard for the nation thanks to the work of community organizations, passionate volunteers, and unique partnerships across the health and public sectors.
