Feinstein Fellowship Alumni Spotlight: Amy Kowinsky

The Jewish Healthcare Foundation's Fellowship Alumni Spotlight series showcases some of the many incredible alumni of the Feinstein Fellowships.

Amy Kowinsky is the Executive Director of Dementia360, a Presbyterian SeniorCare Network program designed to support and educate families caring for people living with dementia at home.

Amy has over 20 years of professional experience in many different areas of healthcare. She has worked in gerontology, dementia care, healthcare quality improvement, and nutrition. She has led the redesign of work processes to improve satisfaction, safety, and efficiency, in hospitals, long term care, and interdisciplinary groups, and now at home.

Amy was drawn to dementia care when she and her mother became caregivers for her grandmother, who was living with dementia. She realized that there was very little support in our healthcare system for people living with dementia, or for the family caregivers, who were on the front lines of providing care. She changed her career, devoting herself to improving the quality of care, and the quality of life, for people living with dementia and their family caregivers.
