Mama Joe Project in Peoria Wednesday October 29th 12 pm to 2 pm Peoria Riverfront Museum

The Mama Joe Project

The Mama Joe Project is a multimedia and outreach initiative focused on aging and care for elders with Alzheimer disease and other dementia. The issue is growing in significance as the world’s population of people 60 years and older is estimated to double by year 2050.

Core to the project is My Mama Joe Hope & Help, a documentary film whose central character is a former community champion living with dementia. The story intersects personal narrative with broader themes of aging, health, and caregiving. The film is complimented by Engagement Forums, a series of community outreach events to raise awareness, highlight resources, and inspire hope.

With prioritized emphasis on improving health outcomes, the vision for this project is that individuals and families will be better positioned to experience improved quality of life as they age.

An event planned by the Illinois Department on Aging is planned for the Peoria area on October 29th at the Peoria Riverfront Museum, 222 SW Washington St, Peoria, IL 61602 from 12 pm to 2 pm. Details coming soon!
