Reconceptualizing dementia care: What does it mean to remain a person when memory fades? When someone can no longer tell us who they are or what they need, what ensures we still recognize and treat them as a person?

Assistant Professor of Nursing Bill Buron has been advancing how we understand and deliver care to individuals living with dementia, particularly those in the later stages of the disease. In 2008, he launched the first iteration of the Personhood Model for Dementia Care (PMDC).

“This theory-driven, practice-guiding framework reconceptualizes dementia care as an interpretive and relational practice. Its central, grounding premise is that personhood is not lost in dementia. It is either supported or diminished through the actions of others.”

While dementia alters memory, communication and behavior, Buron’s work rests on the idea that the disease does not eliminate the person. Follow the link in the comments to read more about his research.

Today we honor Juneteenth, a day to celebrate freedom, resilience, and the ongoing pursuit of equality.
At this year’s commencement ceremony, Distinguished Alumnus Julius Tennon reminded UTulsa graduates that true progress comes through unity and the courage to be a force for change. His words echo today as we reflect, celebrate, and continue moving forward together.
