Dementia Friendly Susquehanna Valley

Dementia Friendly Susquehanna Valley DFSV's vision is to provide education & support to those in our area caring for those with dementia.

The mission of DFSV is to bring dementia awareness to our region through education, advocacy and volunteer engagement in order to better support those living with dementia and their caregivers. Specifically, DFSV provides education opportunities about dementia in an effort to inform the community at large, reduce the stigma associated with dementia, bring awareness to existing community resources and create new resources to better serve those living with dementia and their caregivers.
