Dr. Catherine Madison is a board-certified neurologist who specializes in dementia care. As Medical Director for JFCS’s Seniors At Home and Rhoda Goldman Plaza, she supports clients with cognitive impairment and their families.
Dr. Madison received her M.D. from Saint Louis University and completed residency training in neurology at George Washington University Medical Center. After serving eight years in the Air Force, she returned to California to care for her mother with Alzheimer’s disease. This personal family journey deepened her interest in helping others facing a similar life-changing diagnosis.
In 2012, she envisioned and developed the Ray Dolby Brain Health Center at California Pacific Medical Center. She is a frequent speaker on dementia-related topics, an active member in the professional community, and author of the book “Navigating Memory Loss: Essential Questions and Answers on Alzheimer’s and Dementia.” She also keeps busy with a small private practice and her 5 grandchildren.
