About Us
The National Dementia Care Collaborative
The National Dementia Care Collaborative (NDCC) aims to improve access to evidence-based comprehensive dementia care. The NDCC provides a common platform for health systems and other provider organizations that have already implemented a proven model of comprehensive dementia care or are seeking to establish a new program. For health systems that have already implemented comprehensive dementia care, the NDCC facilitates communication among providers to share best practices and promote continued success.
