Faith communities are more than places of worship—they’re essential partners in promoting health and well-being. They mirror the principles of public health by fostering connection, education, and support within the communities they serve. By integrating health promotion efforts such as dementia care and support programs, FBOs strengthen the ties that bind us and uplift the most vulnerable among us. Pamela Price-RVA with The Balm In Gilead, Inc. outlines this in the BOLD Public Health Center of Excellence on Dementia Caregiving's 2022 Public Health and Faith series (https://lnkd.in/dXMk87GZ): #DementiaCaregivingAcrossFaiths Ashley Millenbah, Elma Johnson, Robbin Frazier, Fayron Epps PhD, RN, FGSA,FAAN, Ishan Williams PhD, FGSA, Kina L.
