Since 2019, faculty and students from Teacher’s College and Columbia University with an interest in neurological conditions including Parkinson’s disease and Dementia have established partnerships with Faith based organizations - St. Luke AME Church, St. John’s Baptist Church and Mt. Neboh Baptist Church, in order to deliver culturally-sensitive information and resources to educate and empower the community on how to improve their brain health.
As this partnership has grown, we would like to establish a website that can host all of the resources and materials for the community, as well as serve as a platform to identify community-based programming including social programming and exercise programming that community members want to engage, in a format that is easy to navigate.
