Researching treatment for Alzheimer’s disease - Dr. Jim Hoehns

The causes and treatment of Alzheimer’s disease are not yet understood, but clinical researchers are committed to finding the answers.

In this episode we're joined by Dr. Jim Hoehns, a clinical pharmacist and research director at MercyOne Northeast Iowa Family Medicine and Residency.

Dr. Hoehns discusses the methods of this clinical research, the benefits for individuals who participate, and the groundbreaking work being done to unlock the mysteries of Alzheimer's disease. 

Dr. Hoehns' group is seeking participants who have early, symptomatic Alzheimer’s disease to take part in a clinical trial of a new medication.
