Addressing Inequality and Disparities
Vision
To address the issue of dementia on a global scale, we must find solutions in our collective experiences and expertise. This concerted effort will bring novel solutions to this challenging problem.
Strategy
As a behavioral neurologist, Charles cares for patients with a variety of cognitive disorders. He is also engaged in outreach to underserved communities that disproportionately suffer from dementia and neurocognitive diseases.
Motivation
Disparities in neurodegenerative disease and dementia will create a future public health crisis without solutions to address them. Charles seeks to better understand and eliminate these disparities through efforts with GBHI, thereby protecting the most vulnerable aging populations.

He received his MD from Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School before completing his internship at Drexel University Hahnemann Hospital.
