Walking Victoriously with Dr Ron Harvard!
Thomasville, Ga. (Sept. 2025) — Legacy Village at Plantation Manor will be hosting a free and public event on September 24 at 3:00 pm, featuring Dr. Ron Harvard who acts as Legacy Village’s Director of Alzheimer’s Support. In addition to a Meet & Greet, Dr. Harvard will be presenting a talk titled, “Walking Victoriously Through the Long Goodbye.”
Legacy Village’s Alzheimer’s Support Services is a resource designed for family members, team members and community partners who are caring for a loved one with Alzheimer’s or dementia. Dr. Harvard has led this complimentary resource since early 2024, providing that extra support to families and caregivers who are navigating the pressures of caring for a loved one with memory loss.
As a pastor, counselor, college professor and primary caregiver to his late wife, Linda, who suffered from Alzheimer’s for 20 years, Dr. Harvard brings many years of experience to this program.
“For nearly 20 years, I watched as Dementia/Alzheimer’s moved from being an insignificant inconvenience to a disease that robbed the love of my life of her memory, personality and eventually contributed to her death,” states Dr. Harvard. “Determined to find a cure and keep her in my world, and sparing no expense and effort, I took her to the finest doctors and searched through all available research. Coming to grips with the futility of my approach, I developed a framework that focused on her comfort and my survival: ‘Walking Victoriously Through the Long Goodbye,” grew out of a foundational belief that pain is inevitable but misery is optional,” he continues.
The event will be held at Legacy Village at Plantation Manor from 3:00-4:30 pm and is free and open to the public. There will be opportunity to meet with Dr. Harvard as well as refreshments and tours available.
