Dr. Marc Rothman has a history of experience working within the aging space, becoming a subject-matter expert in related topics like palliative care, but, particularly dementia. In 2019, he helped to found Dementia Spring, a non-profit 501c3 organization focused on improving the lives of people with dementia through education, resources, and innovation. It turns out that their primary tool for this work is artistry in music, dance, painting, and all forms that bring creativity to the forefront. Additionally, the organization rewards artists who use their medium to educate communities on the subject of dementia to generate greater understanding. In this conversation, Dr. Rothman talks about their work at Dementia Spring and introduces us to award-winning filmmaker, writer, and producer, Kate Mathews, whose acclaimed short film, Dark Moon, won an award from Dementia Spring's program for honoring artists who impact. Kate shares a bit about her film and where it is being shown next. Co-hosting with Host, Mary Kurek, is Dr. David Ajibade, Founder of the Brain and Body Foundation and Rachael Wonderlin, Dementia and Senior Living Consultant at Dementia by Day, LLC, and 3x Johns Hopkins Press author. https://dementiaspring.org/
