Description
Antonio A Martinez Tlatenchi, Yenifer A Valera Sabino, and M Agustina Rossetti describe wider dementia services for Hispanic patients in central Virginia in 2025. Older Hispanic adults face higher Alzheimer's risk and poor access to care. Caregiver support is also scarce. The team set out to cut those barriers at a local level.
Steps included a Spanish language brain clinic and personal scheduling help after referral. Staff gave dementia talks in the community through a health system program. Care coordinators were assigned to support caregivers. Waits from referral to testing shrank to a minimum. Community talks raised awareness of the new services. The authors say the steps eased known access gaps.
