Alzheimer's is a disease of the brain that causes problems with memory, thinking, and behavior. Join Alzheimer's and dementia expert Dr. David T. Hutchings to learn about the difference between Alzheimer's and dementia, Alzheimer's stages and risk factors, and current FDA-approved research and treatments available.

Dr. Hutchings is the founder of Dementia and Alzheimer’s Care, LLC, a private practice firm focused on the evaluation, treatment, and clinical education of all forms of dementia. In 2021 he joined his practice with Bluesky House Calls. Dr. Hutchings offers guidance to the Alzheimer’s Association and works with that organization and Alzheimer’s Tennessee on the state and national levels for clinical education to practitioners and caregivers.

Dr. Hutchings specializes in geriatric neuropathology and dementias. He has a Bachelor’s degree from the University of Mississippi, a Master’s degree from University of Central Missouri, and a doctorate from Nova Southeastern University. He is a nationally recognized lecturer whose clinical practice and research have led to keynote addresses at state and national organizations, as well as Duke, Vanderbilt, Northwestern, Auburn, and other universities. Dr. Hutchings has been published in clinical publications and peer reviewed journals. In 2013 he developed clinical education articles on ALS for CNN and in 2019 was featured for a month on News Channel 5 discussing Alzheimer’s and dementia. He was named Columbia, TN’s Business Person of the Year in 2021 for his contributions to the community and healthcare during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Hutchings serves as a faculty member at John Patrick University in the department of Dementia/Alzheimer’s Medical program as well as co-chair for the university’s Cognitive and Memory Disorders Clinic.
