On November 11th at 6:00pm, there will be a dementia advocacy exhibit for healthcare trainees at the Local Motive in Madison. (Doors open at 5:00pm.) This exhibition will feature a short film showcasing the life of individuals post-diagnosis. Following the film, there will be a general discussion of the role of clinicians in dementia outcomes.
Reserve a seat for this exhibition of “The Carriage of Ongoing Days.”
Each year, 10 million people worldwide receive a dementia diagnosis. For many, this clinical label comes with unforeseen obstacles and stigma, however, life post-diagnosis can be filled with humor, adventure as well as great complexity. Through a multimodal exhibition, we share the stories of Sheri and David, two Wisconsinites, navigating life post-diagnosis with the support of their spouses by finding joy in every day and making small changes to enhance independence.
