Dr. Jauhar, a cardiologist is the director of the Heart Failure program at Long Island Jewish Medical Center, he has written several bestselling books, My Father's Brain: Life in the Shadow of Alzheimer's, addresses his father’s descent into Alzheimer’s alongside his own journey toward understanding his father’s disease. Dr. Jauhar intertwines information about the disease and how it's treated with his own family's story of coping when his father developed Alzheimer's.

He says dementia remains the only chronic and widespread medical scourge for which there are no effective treatments. According to Dr. Jauhar, many Americans have a fundamental misunderstanding of dementia and Alzheimer’s. As our loved ones age a lot of people think that developing memory problems is normal, that you can't remember everything, but he says there's a difference between normal age-related memory changes where you forget someone’s name or where you put your keys, but he says what his father was experiencing was much more dramatic and malignant.

A copy of My Father's Brain: Life In The Shadow Of Alzheimer's, will be presented to all those who register, and Dr. Jauhar will sign books at the event.
