HMP Global Launches National Symposium to Confront Urgent Gaps in Alzheimer’s Diagnosis and Care

The symposium will deliver evidence-based updates on early-stage detection, therapeutic innovations, and caregiver-centered approaches to a broad clinical audience.

Free virtual CME event brings together neurology, psychiatry and primary care experts to advance diagnosis, treatment models, and emerging therapies.

MALVERN, PA, UNITED STATES, August 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- With more than 7 million Americans age 65 and older currently living with Alzheimer’s disease, and projections reaching nearly 13 million by 2050, the need for coordinated, evidence-based care has never been more urgent. To address this need, HMP Global today announced the 2025 Alzheimer’s Disease & Cognitive Disorders (ADCD) Symposium, a free, live virtual continuing medical education (CME) event designed to close clinical knowledge gaps and improve patient outcomes. Taking place November 12–13, the symposium will convene top experts across neurology, psychiatry, and primary care to advance timely diagnosis, integrated care models, and access to emerging therapies.

Led by prominent faculty including Marwan Sabbagh, MD, FAAN, FANA, Marc Agronin, MD, and W. Clay Jackson, MD, DipTh, the ADCD Symposium addresses diagnostic tools, neuropsychiatric symptoms, caregiver integration, and practical case management to improve patient outcomes across healthcare settings.

What is the Alzheimer’s Disease & Cognitive Disorders (ADCD) Symposium?
The ADCD Symposium is a new, national educational initiative designed to close persistent knowledge gaps in Alzheimer’s diagnosis and care. The symposium will deliver evidence-based updates on early-stage detection, therapeutic innovations, and caregiver-centered approaches to a broad clinical audience. The event is hosted online, free of charge, and offers continuing education credits.

What is Alzheimer’s Disease?
Alzheimer’s disease is a progressive neurodegenerative disorder characterized by cognitive decline, memory loss, and behavioral changes. As of 2025, an estimated 7.2 million Americans aged 65 and older are living with Alzheimer’s dementia. Despite clinical advancements, over 50% of patients are not diagnosed until the moderate or advanced stage, delaying access to potentially disease-modifying treatments.
