The Dementia-Friendly Coalition began life as a committee convened by the Phoebe Center for Excellence in Dementia Care and the Phoebe Institute on Aging in 2013. In 2018, Phoebe Ministries provided funding for a series of forums to engage community stakeholders, and shortly after, the Coalition was transferred to the auspices of the United Way as a collective impact effort under the Age-Friendly Lehigh Valley Coalition. In January 2023, Dementia Friendly Lehigh Valley moved to its new home with Humanitarian Social Innovations. Close
