The Music & Memory℠ Utah Coalition was formed in Spring 2014 on the heels of the award-winning Sundance film Alive Inside: The Story of Music and Memory documenting the dramatic results of the Music & Memory℠ program, created by Dan Cohen. Using personalized playlists of favorite songs loaded on iPODS, this proven program reawakens memory in people suffering with Alzheimer’s, dementia and other cognitive and physical disabilities. Under the direction of the governor’s Utah Commission on Aging, The Music & Memory℠ Utah Coalition brings together the state’s leading healthcare, business, non-profit and educational leaders in a groundbreaking partnership with the initial mission to roll-out Music & Memory℠ to all nursing homes statewide as well as make the program available to all individuals living with dementia.
