MUSIC & MEMORY℠ Comes To Utah
As reported in last month's newsletter Dan Cohen's groundbreaking MUSIC & MEMORY℠ program, as featured in the award-winning documentary "Alive Inside", is being implemented
in Utah!
The Utah Commission on Aging has been designated as the coordinator for a workgroup of key leaders from local
state agencies, businesses, clinical providers and non-profits to ensure successful
collaboration of the Utah roll-out. Application of this program state-wide will likely
offer great opportunities for research projects.

About our Logo
The bristlecone pine tree (Pinus longaeva) - the earth’s oldest inhabitant with a
life span of almost 5,000 years - is found only in Utah and five other western states.
Its extraordinary longevity and ability to adapt and survive in extremely harsh environmental
conditions above 10,000 feet embodies the investigative spirit and mission of the
Utah Center on Aging.Best,
Mark A. Supiano, MD
Executive Director - Center on Aging
