John Sawyer, PhD, a neuropsychologist at Ochsner Health, discusses the need for teamwork between memory care providers and health systems. By working together, they can offer better care to patients with dementia and more effectively support their caregivers. Traditional methods often leave patients feeling lost after a diagnosis. Dr. Sawyer believes in a more hands-on approach, helping patients stay safe at home and reducing unnecessary hospital visits. The Care Ecosystem program at Ochsner Health is an excellent example, showing that good coordination can save families money and improve quality of life.
