Surprise became a Dementia Friendly City in 2019, supported by the Dementia Friends initiative, in partnership with Banner Sun Health Research Institute.

As part of Dementia Friendly Surprise, the Memory Café provides resources and a social space for people living with memory loss and their care partners. The group gathers for coffee and socialization, then caregivers participate in an education and support session while people with memory loss actively participate in a life enrichment group.
