Innovating Care for Dementia
The Ray Dolby Brain Health Center at CPMC
Launched by a visionary philanthropic investment from Dagmar Dolby and her family, under the direction of
Catherine Madison, M.D. the Ray Dolby Brain Health Center at CPMC has helped hundreds of local families
deal with not only the challenges of medical care, but also the stress and practical considerations of an
Alzheimer’s diagnosis. Now, in a move toward developing innovative new treatments for dementia, the center
has hired Alireza Atri, M.D., Ph.D., formerly of Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School to
hold the Ray Dolby Endowed Chair in Brain Health Research. “We want to support patients and their families,”
says David Dolby. “And we welcome the participation and philanthropic support of the entire community.”
