Assistant Professor, NYU Rory Meyers College of Nursing

Bio
Tina Sadarangani, PhD, RN, FAAN, is an NIH-funded assistant professor at NYU and a board-certified adult and geriatric nurse practitioner. Her research focuses on improving care for people with Alzheimer’s disease and supporting their families—especially immigrant families navigating complex healthcare systems. She developed CareMobi™, an award-winning app that helps caregivers coordinate care, and founded The Enlightened Caregiver, a social media movement empowering families to advocate for optimal care. Dr. Sadarangani is a national leader in advancing adult day centers as key partners in chronic disease management and nutrition programs for underserved older adults. Her collaborations with the National and California Associations of Adult Day Services have shown that integrating these centers into healthcare reduces unnecessary utilization and enhances person-centered care. Widely published and featured in major media outlets, she has been honored by Crain’s New York Business as a Notable Leader in Healthcare. She is a fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, the Gerontological Society of America, and the New York Academy of Medicine.
