A symposium on dementia, pain, and substance use strategies convened health professionals in San Juan. [^1]

The event, titled 'Por un Enfoque Más Humano: Estrategias de Manejo de la Demencia, el Dolor y el Uso de Sustancias,' took place at the Embassy Suites hotel. The Universidad Central del Caribe coordinated the program.
