  • TN Dementia ECHO: TDH has partnered with Vanderbilt Memory and Alzheimer’s Center (VMAC) to launch the TN Dementia ECHO (Extension for Community Healthcare Outcomes). ECHO offers a virtual platform for PCPs to collaborate with subject matter experts, dissecting deidentified patient cases, while refining management strategies, improving clinical proficiency, and increasing confidence to care for aging patients experiencing cognitive decline and dementia. The program also facilitates connections with community resources and support services, empowering providers with comprehensive knowledge and tools to better serve patients living with dementia and their caregivers. Additionally, participants will earn up to 12 Continuing Medical Education (CME) credits, providing an excellent opportunity for professional development while addressing critical healthcare needs. The first class begins September 5th.
