In the fall of 2021, we proudly partnered with the Alzheimer’s Association Oregon & Southwest Washington Chapter to create the Dementia-Friendly Walking Group. This walking series has grown and continues to provide a space for folks with early-stage dementia and their care partners to connect while enjoying some fresh air and exercise.
To learn more please visit the Alzheimer’s Association event page or call the Alzheimer’s Association free, 24-7 helpline to connect people to information and resources in their community. The number is 800-272-3900.
You can also contact Danielle at danielle@oregonwalks.org to be put on the mailing list or for more information!
