Episode 15:  Heather Cooper Ortner, President & CEO Alzheimer’s Los Angeles 
Alzheimer’s disease and dementia present significant challenges to those living with the disease, their caregivers, and our entire community. All too often, families are stretched to the breaking point as they endeavor to provide care for their loved one with little to no outside help or support. Heather Cooper Ortner joined Alzheimer’s Los Angeles as President & CEO in Fall 2017 and brought along a strong mission: to change the status quo for caregivers. And in three short years that’s just what she has done.

Heather is a highly respected nonprofit leader, recognized for bringing an entrepreneurial spirit to the healthcare arena. Heather’s proactive approach and passion for her work have contributed a wealth of experience for healthcare-based organizations. Previously, she served as chief executive officer of Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, whose mission is to achieve a future without breast cancer. Prior to Dr. Susan Love Research Foundation, Heather served as executive vice president at the International Myeloma Foundation.
