When Eleonora Tornatore-Mikesh trained as an aging and dementia specialist at the start of her career, she didn’t know she would be back, nearly 25 years later, to head the same organization. Prior to her return, Tornatore-Mikesh implemented statewide dementia training in over 140 facilities as CEO of the Alzheimer’s Association Connecticut chapter and is working toward reducing the disease’s stigma. She’s also currently working with development initiative Latina Empire to help educate Hispanic families whose loved ones are more likely to get Alzheimer’s disease.
