The Memory Hub
Welcome to the Memory Hub
In 2021, the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center (MBWC) is proud to launch a new initiative on Seattle’s First Hill: The Memory Hub. Bringing together people, programs and partners, the Memory Hub operates as a vibrant dementia-focused programs and events venue, collaborative workspace and training center.
What are dementia-friendly communities?
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.
The Memory Hub Opens!
The Memory Hub started as a big dream. It was a dream to create a home for the support, education, and engagement programs that the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center offers for people with memory loss and their families—a warm, welcoming, and non-clinical place, where someone with memory loss is a person, not a patient or research participant. Over time, the dream expanded to involve a vibrant group of partner organizations, and a vision to spread dementia-friendly programs from Seattle across the state!
Join us for weekly tours, leading up to the Grand Opening Celebration!
Come experience the Memory Hub: A place for dementia-friendly community, collaboration, and impact! Operated by the UW Memory and Brain Wellness Center, on the campus of founding partner the Frye Art Museum, this dynamic new space offers a variety of programs and resources for people with memory loss, their families, and all who support a dementia-friendly community.
Progress on the Memory Hub!
With the interior renovations complete and the final inspection approved, we are closer than ever to opening the Memory Hub!
