OTTAWA, Ontario—Integracare Inc. and the Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County announced a new two-year partnership that names Integracare the exclusive presenting sponsor of the Walk for Dementia and enhances the company's nurse-led, dementia-specialized care for families across Ottawa and Renfrew County in Ontario, Canada.
The partnership brings dementia-care education to Integracare's Ottawa caregivers, delivered by the Dementia Society, so that local families are cared for by a team trained to its standards. A registered charity serving the region for more than four decades, the Dementia Society offers tailored one-to-one coaching, education and social and recreation programs for people living with dementia, their caregivers and families. The partnership pairs that community leadership with Integracare's clinical expertise to strengthen dementia support across the region.
Under the agreement, Integracare also becomes the exclusive presenting sponsor of the society's signature Walk, "The Walk for Dementia, Presented by Integracare," and a supporter of the society's "Moments That Matter" tribute at the Dementia Society Center.
"People living with dementia in Ottawa and Renfrew County deserve the highest quality dementia care wherever they call home," said Lee Grunberg, president and CEO of Integracare. "Together with the Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County, we will educate our Caregivers in all facets of Dementia Care The Dementia Society has been that leader in support for caregivers and people living with dementia and their caregivers across Ottawa and Renfrew County for over 45 years, and we are proud to stand beside them as presenting sponsor of the Walk for Dementia to help bring awareness and promote fund-raising for this important charitable organization."
"Partners who invest in education and community—not just services—help us reach more families when it matters most," said Monique Doolittle-Romas, CEO of the Dementia Society of Ottawa and Renfrew County. "We are so proud to welcome Integracare as presenting sponsor of the Walk for Dementia, an event where every donation stays in our community to support our community members."
