A New Era for Alzheimer's Treatment: Promise, Tradeoffs, & Tough Questions - a virtual discussion

We invite you to join us on April 30 from 3 to 4:30 p.m. ET for a fascinating conversation about the latest breakthroughs in Alzheimer's prevention and treatment.

A new generation of Alzheimer's treatments is reshaping the landscape of dementia care. This webinar will examine what these drugs are, how they differ from previous therapies that primarily addressed symptoms, and what we know about their benefits and risks. Have these treatments changed patient care in meaningful ways? How are patients and families experiencing them in the real world? We will also explore pressing questions about affordability and access — particularly given that most people living with dementia rely on Medicare - and consider whether the clinical benefits justify the costs.
