Dr. Norman Foster
Chief Executive Officer
ProActive Memory Services

Norman Foster, MD, is committed to developing new methods of more effectively providing care for memory disorders and dementing diseases. He has 30+ years of clinical and research experience in cognitive disorders and dementia. While at the University of Michigan, he developed the first clinical dementia program in that state. In 2005 he was recruited to the University of Utah as Founding Director of the Center for Alzheimer’s Care, Imaging and Research (CACIR), the first academic Alzheimer’s program in the Intermountain West. This provided an unparalleled opportunity to develop innovative approaches to providing sustainable care for patients with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders. He has taken advantage of this opportunity to recruit skilled and experienced colleagues in this application and to develop Proactive Dementia Care (PDC), an interdisciplinary program that integrates medical dementia evaluations with early education and social work interventions to prevent unnecessary disease complications and care crises.
