Hospice of the Valley has an exciting opportunity that we hope will inspire you! 

We need innovative and creative minds to help Arizona deal with a staggering reality. Over the next decade, our state will experience the second-highest national increase in Alzheimer’s cases. There has never been a more pressing time or need to prepare dementia care experts than now.

That’s why we’re sponsoring a fellowship program to enhance workforce development and dementia care programming. Up to twelve people from a variety of fields will be selected to participate in the year-long fellowship starting January 2019.

You don’t have to be in the medical field! Applicants can come from any walk of life-- social service professionals, lawyers, administrators, educators, artists in various fields, or anyone interested in the field of dementia.

The fellows and their respective organizations each will receive up to $5,000 to create a project that improves quality of life for patients, families and our communities. The time commitment includes two initial days, quarterly half-day meetings, monthly virtual calls and a full day at 12 months.

Application submission deadline is October 12, 2018.
