The Memory Hub

Welcome to the Memory Hub: A Place for Dementia-Friendly Community, Collaboration and Impact! Bringing together people, programs and partners, the Memory Hub operates as a vibrant dementia-specific community center, collaborative workspace and training center. Spearheaded by the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center (MBWC), and located on the campus of founding partner the Frye Art Museum, the Memory Hub welcomes visitors year-round to explore what it means to live well with dementia.

Everyone can play a part in developing dementia-friendly communities or spreading awareness. Visit our page for inspiration, guidance, and practical tools at a local and national level.

Tonya Clegg is the Volunteer Services Manager at Harborview Medical Center. She oversees a small department with a big job: coordinating all volunteer opportunities at the hospital. Volunteers support Harborview in various ways, including visiting and assisting patients, staffing the information desks, and caring for the hospital’s public art collection. Beyond the busy clinical space, Tonya helps secure volunteers to assist at the Memory Hub, a dementia-friendly community center operated by the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center.

Christina Kam, an undergraduate at Pomona College on the pre-health track, is interning at the Memory Hub to develop her special interest in compassionate dementia care.

The Frye has welcomed Petra Jouflas, the new Creative Aging Programs Coordinator at the Frye! She will serve as the liaison between the Frye's Creative Aging programs and the Memory Hub.
