The GECC invites you to share your experiences and insights on aging and dementia at of their virtual town halls. Hearing a wide range of perspectives is crucial to help set the agenda for better scientific study and policy related to dementia.
The GECC is a federally-funded initiative seeking to make and share better data about how experiences and environments (what researchers call the “exposome”) contribute to dementia and the well- being of people with dementia. Much of the current information about these critical life experiences is difficult to access and share. The GECC will overcome these limitations by facilitating conversations and collaborations between diverse partners, resulting in better data for dementia research and action.
The GECC provides a platform for sharing your knowledge, as well as a place to learn from others’ expertise. This collaboration enables deeper understandings of dementia and health, which can lead to meaningful changes for people and their communities.
