Dr. Angela M. Allen, 2020 Positively Powerful Woman Honoree
Dr. Angela M. Allen is the Clinic Research Program Director of Banner Research Institute and Medical Center and ASU Edson College of Nursing and Health Innovation.
I first met Dr. Allen when we were speakers for the Women’s Day event given by Reverend Ozetta Kirby, Pastor, Holy Trinity AME. Dr. Allen is a passionate and powerful speaker who blew me away with her knowledge of Alzheimer’s and dementia research and caregiving. She delivered superior information that was “just right”, easy to understand and easy to act on. She’s a phenomenally caring and dynamic individual who I knew I wanted to bring to the Positively Powerful stage as an honoree so that she could communicate her ability to touch the hearts of her audiences and give more people a sense of hope and understanding as we each approach aging and caregiving.
More people’s lives will be impacted with greater health because of the knowledge and dedication of Dr. Angela M. Allen.
