The Oakland Branch

On January 12, 2024, Altai Marcon Juergens burst onto Glasha and Nate’s world and everyone else’s.

You can see that he’s a thoughtful sort when he’s not sucking his thumb.

The Altai (“All-tie”) Mountains are a spiritual place and a region of great beauty in and around Russia, Kazakhstan, China, and Mongolia.

Besides her new job as a mother, Glasha was named Vice President of Learning and Innovation at HealthBegins. New dad Nate continued as an attending physician in hospital medicine and a core faculty member for residents at Alameda Health System’s Highland Hospital.

By the way, you can visit Altai’s very own page here to watch videos of him explaining the theory of relativity while crawling and falling on his face. A first successful non-tumbling step is due around the time of his first birthday.
