Dementia is an emerging public health concern because of its prevalence and the cost and extent of care typically needed for people with cognitive disorders. When family members seek assistance in providing care, they frequently encounter a fragmented service delivery network. To increase the coordination of services for people with dementia, the Community Outreach Education Program (COEP) has been designed to provide educational interventions to disseminate information about the diagnosis, assessment, management, and treatment of dementia to health care professionals, service providers, staff of volunteer and community organizations, and family members. This article describes plans for the COEP within the context of a community development perspective.
