Florida Atlantic University's María de los Ángeles Ortega, DNP, APRN, in the Christine E. Lynn College of Nursing, has been awarded a three-year, $1.3 million grant from the Administration for Community Living's (ACL) Alzheimer's Disease Program Initiative for a groundbreaking project designed to advance health equity and improve quality of life for individuals living with or at high risk for Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) and their family caregivers.

Kim London watched as Alzheimer’s Disease slowly changed everything about her once vibrant and loving mother, Tommie Brownlee. “She was diagnosed in 2018 and things were fine...then it started where she couldn’t walk as well, she couldn’t move, and she needed help with everything,” London said.
