Reflection in the airport:. #GSA24 was an amazing experience. My body is tired but my passion for improving care for older adults and their families has been renewed. Safe travels home everyone.

Just found out that I was nominated for the Human Rights award by a family caregiver that has engaged in my research program & dementia friendly worship services. U just never know the impact of ur research & service. It’s so much more than the p value. This awards means so much.
