Among those meeting with the minister were Andrew Potter, CEO and director of VIDO-InterVac, Colleen Dell, U of S Research Chair in Substance Abuse, and Margaret Crossley, a member of a team working with community health providers to develop culturally appropriate assessment tools for use in the university's Rural and Remote Memory Clinic.
