ULM's Dementia Compassion Project receives grant from Living Well Foundation for fourth consecutive year
The Living Well Foundation has funded the University of Louisiana Monroe Dementia Compassion Project for a fourth consecutive year, with a record $25,000 grant. The Dementia Compassion Project was founded in the College of Health Sciences in 2023 by Dr. Paula Griswold, Dr. Ashanti Jones, Dr. Patti Calk, and Dr. Jennifer Whited in collaboration with the Kitty DeGree School of Nursing. This project, with the support of a host of ULM faculty volunteers, trains current and future healthcare providers and community members in best practices for supporting individuals with dementia and their families through a simulation-based experience.
