(Salem, Ore. – June 3, 2024) – The Salem Health Foundation’s annual Community Health Speaker Series presents Dr. Sandeep Jauhar, cardiologist, best-selling author, and NPR and New York Times contributor, in June for three one-hour events to discuss his recent book, “My Father’s Brain – Life in the Shadow of Alzheimer’s.”

Dr. Jauhar will offer lessons learned, and the science of what happens to the brain when one is afflicted with the disease. Dr. Jauhar’s advice, from his deeply personal experience and understanding, can help improve your care for a loved one with dementia or Alzheimer’s Disease.

Author of “My Father’s Brain,” Dr. Jauhar writes of his own experience that sets his father’s descent into Alzheimer’s alongside his own journey toward understanding the disease and it might best be coped with, if not cured. His book is an essential insight into dementia, and into how scientists, caregivers, and all of us in an aging society are reckoning with the fallout.
