Kiama Dementia Friendly Project wins WHO award

Kiama councillor Kathy Rice recently received the council’s award at the seventh Global Conference of the Alliance for Healthy Cities at Wonju City, South Korea.

“It’s a great honour to be able to receive this award from the WHO in recognition of Kiama council’s best practice in health,” Cr Rice said.

“It really confirms the world-class standard of the work being guided by Kiama's Health Plan.”

The Kiama project commenced in 2014. It is a partnership project between Kiama council, the University of Wollongong, Alzheimer’s Australia and the Kiama community.
