What do you do for your wellness and how do you incorporate nature into your week?
I love to go on hikes with my dog! When weather permits, we hike Water Dog Lake Park in Belmont, a 4.5 mile trail that takes us through the woods in the Belmont hills. It is a beautiful place and offers some great views of the Bay as well!

CERC faculty, Dr. Nirav Shah was hailed a hero on November 5, 2018 when an elderly gentleman became disoriented and tried to drive through the CASBS kitchen garden, stopped only by a concrete planter. Distraught staff members tried to get him to back up, but he insisted that he needed to go forward. Dr. Shah, coming back from a walk, heard the commotion and took over immediately. He coaxed him from the car, called for a chair for him to sit in, and talked soothingly with the gentleman until emergency crews could arrive. The team at CASBS were grateful and sent kudos to CERC and Dr. Shah for his amazing bedside manner and thoughtful handling of both patient and facility.
