PHILADELPHIA COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS: MAKING IMPORTANT CONNECTIONS Since June 2015, the Alzheimer’s Association Delaware Valley Chapter has partnered with Eli Lilly and the Philadelphia Corporation for Aging to coordinate and host its Community Conversations program. Community Conversations is a community-informed program devoted to sharing information on improving outcomes for people with Alzheimer’s disease and those who care for them. It presents a new opportunity for diverse community stakeholders to come together, hear from a technical expert, and dialogue about and plan actions for improving awareness, detection and/or interventions related to Alzheimer’s disease. This past year more than 30 community partners met over a series of three meetings with the objective of engaging new (and existing) partners on critical Alzheimer’s issues, advancing priorities and building links and connections to important resources. Outcomes included increased awareness built around a newsletter article campaign during Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month. The conversation continues through a second series aimed at targeting regional health care partners.
