(Huntington Beach, CA)— Alzheimer’s Family Services Center is proud to announce that on Thursday, May 7, 2009, Cordula Dick-Muehlke, Ph.D., Executive Director, was honored with the 2009 Peace Maker Award from the Greater Huntington Beach Interfaith Council during the National Day of Prayer celebration.
The Greater Huntington Beach Interfaith Council is a gathering of representatives from faith communities and other interested groups who meet for the purpose of (1) respecting, understanding and celebrating our spiritual and cultural diversity and (2) serving people. The council envisions a community of tolerance, peace, understanding and love. In light of this vision, Dr. Dick-Muehlke was selected to receive this prestigious award given her tireless efforts to provide love and acceptance for those afflicted with Alzheimer’s or another dementia during her 15-year tenure as AFSC executive director. While AFSC has been operating for nearly 30 years, the center has been located in and serving the residents of Huntington Beach for the last decade.
Alzheimer’s Family Services Center is dedicated to improving quality of life for families challenged by Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia through services tailored to meet individual needs. We achieve this mission through direct care, family support, and education services, designed to address the complex and changing needs of families as Alzheimer’s disease progresses from the earliest to most advanced stages. An independent, nonprofit organization, Alzheimer’s Family Services Center is affiliated with the Hoag Neurosciences Center of Excellence.
To learn more about the center, call (714) 593-9630 or visit www.AFSCenter.org.
