Dementia Education for Better Outcomes
Cecilia Nguyen, Clinical Performance Specialist at Concordia Hospital and Concordia Place, and Terri Bowser, Regional Educator with the WRHA Rehabilitation Health Aging and Seniors Care, are the founders and passionate leaders of a comprehensive program called “Code Comfort.”
This unique program was designed specifically for Concordia Staff to provide highly practical awareness and training for front line workers, especially for people who regularly work with people who are experiencing dementia. Approximately two out of every three attendees indicated that the course offered at Concordia is the only dementia-related course they have ever taken, which highlights a significant knowledge gap that needed to be addressed effectively.

The Manitoba team of 67 health care professionals and volunteers, the majority who are from Concordia, led by Dr. David Hedden, Operation Walk’s Medical Director and Orthopedic Surgeon at Concordia (CJRG).
