In honor of Dr. Partha Nandi’s father, Uma, who was the inspiration behind the Health Hero movement, a fund has been created to support stroke research and treatment.
Dr. Uma Nandi was a brilliant polymer chemist, father, husband and son. Dr. Nandi held several patents for his pioneering work. He was also an amazing cook and singer, a true Renaissance man! He had a devastating stroke over 9 years ago which changed his life forever.
Without the love and advocacy of his family, and the ground breaking treatment facilities available to him, Uma would not have lived to see the birth of his grandsons and the love of his community.
