This summer Governor Colyer appointed a work group to develop a Kansas State Dementia Plan. The work group meets twice a month, and the plan is to be completed by December. The Plan is to be delivered to the Legislature in January 2019. Please email Debra with your ideas about critical services, legislation, policies and other items that should be considered for inclusion in the Kansas State Dementia Plan to support Kansans living with dementia.
