ATLANTA, March 24, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The Atlanta Neuroscience Institute (ANI), in partnership with the Alzheimer’s Association – Atlanta Chapter, is proud to announce the launch of a four-part community lecture series focused on Alzheimer’s disease.

Alzheimer’s disease currently affects more than 6 million Americans, with millions more serving as caregivers. This collaborative lecture series brings together leading medical experts, trained educators, and trusted community resources to address disease from prevention through care and future innovation.
“Alzheimer’s disease touches every part of a family’s life,” said Doug Stuart, MD. “By partnering with the Alzheimer’s Association, we are creating an accessible, science-driven forum where individuals can gain knowledge, practical tools, and hope—while connecting directly to support and care.”
