Learn from Renowned Dementia Expert on May 28th

At the forefront of a global movement

Dr. Power works with communities across the world to transform dementia care. He advocates for approaches that integrate rather than segregate, that focus on abilities rather than deficits, and that prioritize quality of life at every stage of the dementia journey.

His pioneering work challenges us to see beyond the diagnosis to the whole person, and his presentations blend scientific insight with compassionate understanding and practical wisdom.

Learn together on May 28th

Dr. Power will be speaking at two events on May 28th in Calgary: an all-day forum for professionals working in dementia, and an evening discussion open to anyone interested in learning more about compassionate and dignified dementia care.
