A Special Recognition for Tyler

TYLER – Tyler is being recognized as a dementia friendly community. Tyler and Fort Worth were the only cities in Texas to have received this recognition. The recognition came after the Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County submitted documentation and letters. It showed Tyler is engaging in important work to support those in our community that are living with dementia as well as their caregivers and families. Included was a summary of the amazing accomplishments of the Tyler Area Chamber Senior Resource Committee and their members and partners. There were also letters of support from the Northeast Texas Public Health District, Smith County Commissioners Court and three Chamber Committees. Next, they want to form subcommittees to continue moving this progress forward. You can be a member of one of these sub committies by contacting Stephanie Taylor with the Alzheimer’s Alliance of Smith County.
