The pandemic has highlighted the immense need for seniors to receive healthcare in innovative ways. As Best Buy Health grows, we will continue to do meaningful work bringing together services, solutions, and technology to help seniors age the way they want to ? at home with a strong sense of purpose and connection to loved ones.

To simulate the experience of Alzheimer?s, Dementia, vision and hearing loss, and more, our employees complete a senior sensitivity training that includes virtual reality modules to better understand these life-altering events. Our COO, Lynn Herrick, shared meaningful insights regarding the Embodied Labs training modules; ?After my husband and I experienced what the patient is feeling and saw how the brain changes when Alzheimer?s starts to happen, our patience and our understanding of what she was experiencing changed dramatically overnight. I realized, for instance, that this is how I would want someone to talk to me if I have Alzheimer?s.?
