Nationally recognized for dementia support
The Caring for the Caregiver Program at UT Health San Antonio’s School of Nursing has earned national recognition in the 5th Annual Maude’s Awards for its outstanding support of dementia caregivers. The program was honored in the “Supporting Care Partners” category for its education, training and outreach efforts.
Led by Roxana Delgado, PhD, MS, the program addresses critical caregiving needs in South Texas, offering access to health digital literacy for caregivers, memory cafés and the Dementia Friendly San Antonio Advisory Council, and conducting a monthly educational series and virtual dementia training.
Caring for the Caregiver was one of three organizations awarded $25,000 for its dedication to empowering caregivers through education, confidence-building and community support.
