1. Resource Description

   The overarching goals of the Penn ADRC’s Outreach, Recruitment and Engagement (ORE) Core are to advance research, to promote public understanding, and to foster better ways for patients, families, and America to live with AD/ADRD. It supports the development of Penn ADRC staff and professionals’ knowledge, attitudes, and skills related to communications, cognitive aging, AD/ADRD, the stages of these diseases, care and caregiving, stigma, and diversity, equity, and inclusion. We will work with the Clinical and Administrative Cores and community partners to develop and implement effective outreach and engagement programs to educate the public, people living with MCI and dementia, and caregivers and families about AD/ADRD, as well as to build support structures and promote research that address the distinct challenges AD/ADRD poses to well-being and autonomy. The Black or African-American community will be an emphasis of this work.
