Live Well, Age Wisely: Insights into Dementia-Related Behaviors…
My position at Prairie Five is funded in part by a grant from the Southwest Initiative Foundation. Without this wonderful organization investing in our rural areas, we would not have robust aging services programming at our agency.

It’s important to acknowledge these funders and express appreciation for them. Thank you!
