Caring for others with dementia, Alzheimer’s, and other diagnoses associated with aging is often a multi-generational affair. Such is certainly the case with Dr. Melissa Yu, the Clinical Operations Director of Baylor College of Medicine’s Alzheimer’s Disease and Memory Disorders Center and an Amazing Place referring physician, and her daughter Marguerite who is one of our 2022 STARS summer volunteers. Marguerite is a sophomore in college and is anticipating a career in the medical field, with many specialties from which to choose.

Amazing Place recently invited Renée Brown Harmon, M.D., nationally recognized author of Surfing the Waves of Alzheimer’s, Principles of Caregiving that Kept Me Upright, to lead a caregiver workshop for more than 60 individuals in Houston, Texas.

She and her husband were in family practice together and had two teenage daughters at the time of his diagnosis.
