Dr. Jan Busby-Whitehead<\/a>, Dr. Mallory Brown, and Denis\u00e9 Dews attended the national GWEP pre-conference meeting, joining colleagues from GWEPs across the country. The team highlighted CGWEP\u2019s accomplishments during an interactive \u201cmarketplace,\u201d where participants shared tools, resources, and successful practices. The session sparked rich conversations and new ideas for advancing age-friendly, dementia-friendly care.<\/p>\n

In addition to the pre-conference events, the meeting offered opportunities to strengthen partnerships. The pre-conference meeting honored recently retired HRSA Program Officer, Dr. Nina Tumosa. Dr. Tumosa served as CGWEPs program officer over a span of 20 years. Denis\u00e9 enjoyed a wonderful dinner with Dr. Donna Roberson and Dr. Kimberly Delgado, our valued partners from East Carolina University, discussing ongoing collaborations and future initiatives to support older adults and their caregivers across the state.<\/p>\n

Overall, the GSA Annual Meeting provided inspiration, connection, and renewed energy as CGWEP continues its mission to improve care for North Carolina\u2019s aging population.<\/p>\n
