Here’s a great article from the June 10 LA Times about the Gilbert Center‘s table tennis program for Alzheimer’s and dementia patients. Bella Livshin, Mikhail Zaretsky, and Elie Zainabudinova are also featured prominently in the article.

An excellent program from the Gilbert Center and a great read!
