Wisdom Watch Alliance
Wisdom Watch was created as a volunteer alliance by three colleagues in the Richmond community who had one thing in common: Wanting to answer a call to make a personal contribution to addressing health equity gaps impacting Richmond's African American elders. Statistics show African American elders are twice as likely to have dementia when compared with their White counterparts.
