Bridging Faith and Memory Care: A Technology-Enabled Model to Reduce ADRD Disparities

This project develops a technology-enabled health communication model that equips faith leaders to support earlier recognition and referral for Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias. The program combines training, decision-support tools, symptom screening guidance, and referral pathways to strengthen connections between faith communities and clinical care systems. The follow-on award will support development of a scalable, data-informed platform for referral tracking, engagement monitoring, and broader community implementation.
