Collaborations
4AC
The CU Alzheimer's and Cognition Center collaborates with the African American Alzheimer's Advisory Council (4AC). The African American Alzheimer’s Advisory Council (4AC) was established in 2018 to help dispel the stigma of Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, and increase awareness for caregivers in the Colorado African American community, through education and outreach efforts. Learn more about the 4AC and their goals here.
ECHAR Network
The CU Alzheimer's and Cognition Center is in collaboration with the ECHAR Network, under the leadership of Dr. Luis Medina at the University of Houston. The acronym ECHAR stands for Engaging Communities of Hispanics for Aging Research (ECHAR) Network. ECHAR, a Spanish verb, with several definitions such as “to cast/throw”, “to put”, “to oust” and “to lay” that is fitting given that the Network proposes goals to lay out a plan for better health communications and to oust health disparities.
