Today on World Alzheimer’s Day, we shine a light on Circle the City’s Memory Clinic — one of the first of its kind in the nation for individuals experiencing homelessness.

This innovative program is guided by our incredible care team, including Nurse Practitioner Amber Porter and ASU DNP/PhD student Alisa Squires, who recently shared the clinic’s impact at the Arizona Nurses Association annual conference.
