Why I joined Isaac Health

What drew me to Isaac Health and to caring for people with dementia is both my career focus and a deeply personal experience. As a geriatrician, I have always been passionate about learning more about dementia because it is one of the biggest health challenges we face today. This professional interest became a heartfelt commitment when my own father developed dementia. Seeing how this disease affects not just the person, but the whole family, has given me a deep understanding and a strong drive to provide the best, most caring support possible. I believe Isaac Health offers the best way to combine my personal experience with my professional goal of improving life for patients and their caregivers.
