About the HKPR Dementia Network:
What prompted the establishment of a Dementia Network in the Four County area?
In 2002, the Ontario Provincial Alzheimer Strategy #9A began an implemention of regional dialigues on creation of Dementia Networks.
How did the Coordinating Group get created?
Service providers working with persons with dementia and their families met to discuss the development of a network that would represent providers working in the four counties of Haliburton, City of Kawartha Lakes, Peterborough and Northumberland.
It was decided that as many service provider groups already meet throughout the four counties and this group could build on their exisitng activities and networking structures. The local groups were invited to join as a network and thus the creation of a HKPR Dementia Network Coordinating Group.
