What we’re about
This group provides learning opportunities, resources, mutual support, and motivation for those attending Salient Center programs or started their journey toward healthy nutrition and lifestyle.
Salient Lifestyle Center was established in 2021 by Ashwani Garg, M.D., Terri Dallas, M.D., and Gabriel Bardan to restore total well-being through evidence-based lifestyle education by providing programs and organizing events in Northwestern Chicagoland and beyond.
The literal translation of the Latin verb "SALIENT" (future tense, plural) vividly encapsulates our vision: YOU "WILL JUMP" (as of joy), "WILL LEAP" (advance in life by leaps and bounds), and "WILL SPRING UP" (to a better life).
