FY2016 STELLAR HIGHLIGHTS
AADVC FY2016
PHYSICIAN OUTREACH & EDUCATION AND OUR NEXT STEP DIRECT CONNECT PROGRAM TAKE OFF
his past year, Delaware Valley Chapter program staff made more than 200 outreach and education visits to physicians’ offices with the aim of sharing information about how our Chapter support services can help physicians assist their patients and family caregivers.
Additionally, we’ve expanded our NEXT STEP Direct Connect program which facilitates a direct link between a visit to the doctor and a connection to the Alzheimer’s Association. Our medical partnership activities this year included working collaboratively with the Alzheimer’s Association Greater Pennsylvania Chapter to create a new information booklet which highlights our physician education materials and the NEXT STEP program. The project was funded by a grant through the Pennsylvania Department of Aging and the booklet was mailed to 10,000 Pennsylvania Physicians who participate in the PACE [Pharmaceutical Assistance Contract for the Elderly] Program. In April 2016, we collaborated with Med Learning Group on a unique Physician Education program focusing on dementia detection, early diagnosis and treatment. More than 100 medical professionals attended the program which incorporated 3-D technology and a panel of nationally recognized speakers, including Chapter Medical & Scientific Committee member, Barry Rovner, MD, who serves as Director, Alzheimer's Disease and Dementia Center, Jefferson Hospital. Additional programs will be offered in Fall 2016.
