Redefining Alzheimer’s: Empowering Women Through Knowledge and Action

June 23, 2026
31C
Type: Breakout Session
Focus Area: Patient Advocacy
Healthcare providers are often faced with the same set of challenges when diagnosing women with Alzheimer’s – debunking the stigma that has shaped the Alzheimer’s narrative for women and their families and removing the shame and misunderstanding so the disease can be diagnosed earlier. Oftentimes, these challenges lead to gaps in communication between women and their providers about memory, cognition, and brain health as well as provide obstacles for women in accessing screenings, care pathways, and clinical trials. This session looks to change the narrative and create change so that Alzheimer’s diagnoses in women can become a public health priority. Panelists will include a clinical expert, a researcher, a patient advocate, an industry innovator, and a policy leader as they look to flip the script from despair to empowerment and help redefine what it means to live with and prevent Alzheimer’s in women.
