What is the Ohio Council for Cognitive Health?
The Ohio Council for Cognitive Health is a growing network of care partners, health partners and community members dedicated to transforming life for those living with dementia, their loved ones and their communities. Our approach ensures scalable, sustainable transformation across systems, within communities and throughout our state.
Hand in Hand.
We are with you every step of the way.
We are helping Ohioans living with dementia — along with their loved ones, care partners and broader community — live with as much meaning, purpose and joy possible.
We do this by:
HELPING create environments so that individuals thrive by using and enhancing their preserved abilities;
PROVIDING tools, approaches and resources for loved ones, care partners and community members;
ENCOURAGING the concept of interdependence; and
INTRODUCING community members to strategies that can enhance cognitive health throughout the lifespan.
