CAPACITY
Our organization has been expanding the Early Stage Memory Loss education series since 2006 and have partnered with Intermountain LiveWell, area neurologists and neuropsychologists, doctors, nurses, social workers and lawyers from various community agencies.
Rural outreach has begun in Mesquite Nevada, Kanab and New Harmony. Funding to create systems, packets and relationships in these areas will help us have capacity and sustainability as we move forward.
The Wellness calls have been a desire for many years, but until this year we lacked the office space for volunteers and staff to do this service. Funding will help us develop a system, protocal and the training to continue this desperately needed service in the future.
