Your Invitation to
Discovery 2019
All of us at the Alzheimer’s Association Washington State Chapter – Board, staff
and volunteers – as well as Discovery 2019 sponsors, exhibitors and presenters,
are proud to present a day of enriching, evidence-based education, relevant
resources and networking opportunities.
Please join us for Discovery 2019, our 34th Annual Alzheimer’s
Regional Conference.
As the Discovery Conference Advisory Council, we chose the theme of resilience
around which to build the program for this year’s conference. Resilience is a
process through which individuals demonstrate positive adaptation despite
challenges and changes, such as a diagnosis of Alzheimer’s or other dementia.
Discovery Conference is your full-day opportunity to immerse yourself in learning,
connecting, growing and Discovery.
Come share a day of Discovery with us!

Geriatrician, Author, Educator and Musician
Dr. Power is a board-certified internist, geriatrician
and newly-appointed Schlegel Chair in Aging and
Dementia Innovation at the Schlegel-U Waterloo
Research Institute for Aging in Ontario, Canada. He

KEYNOTE ADDRESS
A New Definition of Dementia:
A shift in the way a person experiences the world.
Friday, March 8, 2019 | 8:45 – 10:00 A.M. | Main Ballroom
In his keynote address, Dr. Power will outline the drawbacks of a narrow
biomedical view of dementia, both for people with a diagnosis and their
care partners. He will explain how an experiential model creates new
pathways for success, using one framework for supporting a sense of
well-being. This new model challenges many of our current practices and
outlines a path for better care and support, while eliminating potentially
harmful psychoactive medications.
