Welcome to this episode of the Reverse Alzheimer's Summit. I'm your host, Dr. Heather Sandison, and I'm so delighted to introduce you to Sarah Teten Kanter. She has a Ph.D. and she's using that degree on this mission of helping people embrace the gift of growing older. She's the CEO of Positive Caregiving, an organization focused on helping caregivers and care receivers. These care partner dyads favor their experience while finding opportunities for personal growth. She's the author of Positive Caregiving, a book published just this month. As we're recording in 2023. And she's also a developer of the positive caregiving mobile app available for both Apple and Android users. She holds a doctoral degree and a master's degree in gerontology from the University of Nebraska and Omaha, where her research focused on the emotional experiences of people living with Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. She's a dementia friend and certified caregiver advocate, and prior to pursuing her passion in gerontology, she was the chief marketing officer and chief customer service officer at Connect the Now, an IBM company. She lives in Lincoln, Nebraska, with her family. And you can see why I am delighted to introduce you to her. And so, so grateful to have Sarah with us today. Welcome.
