The ORE Core operates as the public face of the UW ADRC, actively facilitating community and professional outreach and education programs so that UW ADRC researchers may find and then enroll people who might be interested in helping develop ways of treating and preventing Alzheimer’s disease. Our focus particularly on people from communities that have been historically underserved by researchers, such as the African American, American Indian and Alaska Native, and Latino and Hispanic communities. To this end, Core members collaborate extensively with the Alzheimer's Association, the Institute for Research and Education to Advance Community Health (IREACH) at Washington State University , and the UW ADRC Native Research and Resource Core. In addition to recruiting and retaining research participants, the ORE Core works to educate professional clinicians and family caretakers in the recognition and treatment of Alzheimer’s. The ORE Core supports the publication of Dimensions, a magazine that features new developments in ADRC research and the Memory and Brain Wellness Center clinical care and community education programs.
