A “Hello” from Dr. Leila Roach, who started our Care Partner Group 4 years ago.

Our BFA Coordinator, Ariel, attended the 2026 Florida Council on Aging Conference!

Highlights included “Happy Brains Need Conversation,” “Bringing Nutrition to Life: Mobile Cooking Demonstrations & Interactive Education for Healthy Aging,” and Dr. Josh Freitas’ session “Treating the Symptoms of Dementia Non-Pharmacologically: Lifestyle Medicine, Environment, and Evidence-Informed Care.”

We also heard policy updates from Robert Blancato, a powerful session by Judith Kozlowski on financial well-being in older adults, and learned about Jeremy Bloom’s inspiring Wish of a Lifetime program.

Grateful to bring these insights back to our BFA community
