title: Health team networking: Alzheimer's disease care.
abstract: The expected increased incidence of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias in the next century will impact heavily on the care of physicians to involved families. Physicians alone cannot provide the assistance required by these families and need to access other health professionals and resources to assist these families. Responding to the desperate need for information by families concerned with Alzheimer's disease, physicians and other health professionals in North Central Florida networked to develop, implement, and evaluate a responsive strategy, a community forum on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The two-hour daytime program with small discussion groups and a panel of experts for a question-answer session was highly successful and replicated.
