“Real leaders demonstrate commitment by doing the extraordinary. They are willing to do the hard work and go the extra mile to be the best, because they care so much. They are focused on more than getting the job done. They have a real passion for their mission, and it shows. We’d like to thank these leaders for championing quality dementia care by preparing their team in Dementia Capable Care. Congratulations on your achievement and thank you!” ~ Kim Warchol
