McGill Cares: A heart-to-heart with the Mayor of Westmount on her caregiving journey

Christina Smith has been involved in municipal politics with the City of Westmount for over ten years. She was first elected as City Councillor in 2013, then as Mayor in 2017.  Mayor Smith will share her experience as a caregiver to her late father who recently passed away from Alzheimer’s disease. She will talk about the impact this disease has had on her and her family, and discuss both the challenges and positive encounters she faced with the healthcare system.  McGill Cares is supported by the Amelia Saputo Community Outreach for Dementia Care.    McGill Cares is an initiative of the McGill Dementia Education Program, which is funded by private donations.
