Commissioner Roderick Miles Jr. to Host 11th Annual Alzheimer’s Education Seminar

Healthy Lives Matter seminar will provide education, caregiver resources and continuing education opportunities

TARRANT COUNTY – Tarrant County Commissioner Roderick Miles Jr. will host the 11th Annual Healthy Lives Matter Alzheimer’s Education Seminar on Saturday, August 22, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Tarrant County College Trinity River Campus, 300 Trinity Campus Circle in Fort Worth.

Approximately 459,000 Texans age 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s disease, supported by an estimated 1.3 million family caregivers. As Texas’ older adult population grows, access to reliable information, caregiver resources and treatment advances will become increasingly important.

The one-day seminar will provide information about Alzheimer’s disease progression, practical strategies for managing challenging situations, and updates on research and treatment.

The program will also feature the Dementia Live® Experience, an interactive simulation that helps participants understand the physical and cognitive challenges experienced by people living with dementia. The experience is designed to build empathy, improve communication and support more meaningful family interactions.

The seminar is free and open to the public. Advance registration is encouraged.
