Neurology Memory Disorders Clinic

The Neurology Memory Disorders Clinic at Froedtert Hospital provides a comprehensive, team approach to patients and families dealing with Alzheimer's disease, memory loss or related disorders. The Clinic is affiliated with the Medical College of Wisconsin, which allows the staff to implement new advances in the assessment and treatment of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders, such as medications and state-of-the-art technologies. An individualized plan of care is developed by the multi-disciplinary team, and shared with the family. A copy of the assessment is sent to the primary care physician.

The Urgency of Our Mission

In 2008, it is estimated that there are as many as 5.2 million Americans currently living with Alzheimer's disease, and that number is expected to grow to as many as 16 million by 2050.

Every 71 seconds, an American develops Alzheimer's disease. By mid-century, an American will develop the disease every 33 seconds.

One in six women and one in 10 men who live to be at least age 55 will develop Alzheimer’s disease in their remaining lifetime.

Approximately 10 million of the 78 million U.S. baby boomers who were alive in 2007 can expect to develop Alzheimer’s disease.

African-Americans are more likely than Caucasians to have Alzheimer's disease.

The number of African-Americans entering the age of Alzheimer risk (age 65 or older) is expected to more than double to 6.9 million by 2030.

70 percent of people with Alzheimer's disease live at home, cared for by family and friends.

In 2007, 9.8 million family members, friends and neighbors provided unpaid care for a person with Alzheimer’s disease or another dementia.

The direct costs to Medicare and Medicaid for care of people with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and the indirect costs to business for employees who are caring for people with Alzheimer's disease amount to more than $148 billion annually.
