Medical and Religious Responses to Alzheimer's DiseaseAt the request of participants of last year's ICJS con-ference Dying Well: Medicine and Mortality through Jew-ish, Christian, and Muslim Eyes, the ICJS will present a program to address the medical and religious responses to Alzheimer's disease.

He served for more than twelve years as a full-time nursing home chaplain at the Fairfax Nursing Center and for almost five years as a staff chaplain for the Hospice of Northern Virginia. He is a past president of the Northern Virginia Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association. Rev. Dunn is the author of Hard Choices for Loving People: CPR, Artificial Feeding, Comfort Care, and the Patient with a Life-Threatening Illness.

The second part of the program will consist of two sessions on Thursdays, May 18 and May 25 from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m. at Bolton Street Synagogue. These sessions will continue the discussion and text study begun in February. The cost of both May sessions is $30.00.
