Dr. Pierre N. Tariot
Beatitudes Campus, 1610 W. Glendale Ave., will host one of the world’s leading researchers in Alzheimer’s disease prevention and dementia care when Dr. Pierre N. Tariot presents a special educational program on Tuesday, April 14, at 9 a.m. The event will be open to campus residents, their families and members of the broader Phoenix community.
Tariot will discuss emerging strategies for dementia prevention as well as practical approaches for living well after a diagnosis. His presentation will explore both the latest scientific advancements in Alzheimer’s prevention research and the compassionate principles that guide effective dementia care.
As a clinician, researcher and leader in Alzheimer’s disease research, Tariot was co-founder of the Banner Alzheimer’s Institute, alongside Dr. Eric Reiman, helping establish the institute as a global leader in Alzheimer’s prevention therapies and in developing new standards of dementia care.
His connection to Beatitudes Campus runs deep. In addition to having had a family connection to the community, Tariot serves on the cabinet of Beatitudes Campus’ THRIVE capital campaign and has collaborated with the campus on research and education connected to its nationally recognized Comfort Matters® approach to dementia care.
“Dr. Tariot is one of the world’s leading voices in Alzheimer’s research, but to us he is also a longtime partner and friend of Beatitudes Campus,” said Michelle Just, president and CEO of Beatitudes Campus. “His mother lived here, and over the years he has collaborated with our team on research and education related to our Comfort Matters® approach to dementia care. We are honored to welcome him back to campus to share both the latest science in Alzheimer’s prevention and the compassionate principles that help people live well with the disease.”
The event also highlights Beatitudes Campus’ leadership in dementia care through its award-winning approach that prioritizes dignity, flexibility and personalized engagement for residents living with memory loss. The model has been adopted by care organizations across the country and Beatitudes Campus says it reflects its commitment to creating a dementia-friendly community that supports both residents and their families.
