106 Adults Receive Free Dementia Screenings at Atlanta Community Organizations

The 100 Minds Cognitive Screening Project recently provided free dementia screenings to 106 adults aged 60 and older at various Black churches and community organizations in Atlanta. The initiative, a partnership between Alter Dementia, Dementia Care Aware (DCA), and SageNavigator, aims to increase access to early cognitive detection by offering services in familiar, community-based settings.

The project organizers selected these locations to reach older African Americans in environments where they already receive support and feel comfortable. By bringing clinical screening tools directly into these faith-based and aging-support organizations, the participating groups intend to lower barriers to early health assessments. The screenings serve as a diagnostic resource for participants, providing data on cognitive health within a demographic that researchers often identify as having specific needs for accessible, culturally relevant medical outreach.
