Khatib Bridge and Education Center

Bridge is the ultimate trick-taking card game that is enjoyed by tens of million people throughout the world more so than any other card game. Much research has been done on how playing bridge can impact positively someone’s mental health and help the brain to stay young and healthy. A result of a study shows that the bridge players of the age 55-91 years old outperformed nonplayers in measures of working memory and reasoning. Senior citizens who play a board game may have a lower risk of having dementia than others.

and that is why Dr. Khatib established a nonprofit bridge Educational center in Stuart, Florida. Now in his 90’s, Dr. Reza Khatib added a duplicate bridge to golf and yachting as his favorite recreations well before retiring from his remarkable and highly accomplished career as a neurologist and brain surgeon. Aside from his enjoying bridge as a life master, regular player, club director, and bridge teacher, his financial support for several clubs and numerous tournaments continued right up to this present “age of covid”.
