CITRUS COUNTY, Fla. -- Citrus County residents have created a nonprofit to provide education about dementia. 

  • Dementia education corporation formed
  • Corporation intended to educate on memory diseases

Dementia Education Inc. is dedicated to supporting projects, publications, and other activities to create a better understanding of memory diseases.

On July 26, residents gathered at the Hen House Cafe to form the corporation.

The restaurant was chosen because it became the first business in the county to be trained and certified as dementia friendly back in 2015.

More than 50 other businesses and churches in Citrus County have since received the designation.
