We make sure caregivers get the help and guidance they need. Bridge Gaps in Healthcare: We partner with local groups to bring health and aging-related information and resources into Brooklyn neighborhoods. We focus on “age-friendly” clinics and “dementia-friendly” communities so that everyone feels supported. We seek solutions to everyday needs like housing and transportation that affect overall health. Improve Patient Care and Track Results: We measure how well we are doing by checking services such as: Dementia caregiver support Fall risk assessments Safe pain management Chronic diabetes and high blood pressure management Cancer screenings Medication safety Where We Are Based SUNY Downstate Health Sciences University: Brooklyn’s only academic medical center, located in East Flatbush.
