Educating and inspiring healthcare students to care about dementia

Nursing students from Creighton University spend the morning at Hospice of the Valley’s Dementia Care and Education Campus in Arcadia. Here, they learn best practices to care for patients living with dementia.

Arizona has the fastest growth rate of Alzheimer’s disease in the country. Yet there are not enough paid caregivers or even geriatricians — only 92 in the entire state — for this population. So how do you educate, even inspire, health care students to care about dementia? As the saying goes, if you build it, they will come.
