Background on “StrongerMemory” by Goodwin Living

Starting in April 2022, the Maryland Department of Aging, under the leadership of Secretary of Aging Rona Kramer, supported a pilot of the evidence-based program titled “StrongerMemory” and rolled it out in seven counties in Maryland through their area agencies on aging. Evaluations of the launch program are very promising. 

The Maryland pilot rollout included 12 weeks of habit forming reading out loud, writing by hand, and simple math programming with a goal to improve brain health. Participants were provided with program materials and facilitator-led sessions, based on the StrongerMemory curriculum developed and offered at no cost by Goodwin Living, a not-for-profit senior living and healthcare services organization based in the National Capital Region.
