A snapshot from a Penn Memory Center Memory Café event was recently awarded a second-place prize by Dementia Friendly America.
July’s Memory Café featured a drum circle facilitated by drummer Deke Kincade of Deke Kincade Rhythm, and the award-winning photo captures patients and caregivers in the PMC community gathered in a drum circle to create rhythm and music. Chloe Elmer, then an editorial assistant with PMC, took the photo.
The photo won second place at Dementia Friendly America’s Living Well with Dementia in the Community Photo Contest, with submissions aiming to display the diversity and support within the community for those living with dementia and their care partners. Our picture along with the other winning photos can be found on the Dementia Friendly America home page banner.
