“The Alter program assists faith-based communities in meeting the needs of families based on three pillars – education, support and worship,” explained the pastor.
“We believe that faith-based communities are important sources for providing health related information and offering connections to services, particularly for African Americans. Historically churches have been a safe haven for African American families, however, many churches do not currently have programs to support families/congregants living with dementia,” added Dr. Epps.
“Join us and feel free to bring someone for our next Dementia Friendly Service to be held on September 15, 2024 at 9:30am. If you have any questions, please contact Grant AME Church at (323) 564-1151,” said Pastor Coston.
