Huntington’s Disease Across the Lifespan
The Huntington Study Group (HSG) is proud to present the 2026 Clinical Care & Research Symposia Series, Huntington’s Disease Across the Lifespan—a national initiative designed to bring together regional communities of healthcare professionals, researchers, and advocacy leaders dedicated to improving care for individuals affected by Huntington’s disease (HD).
This multi-city series offers a unique opportunity for interdisciplinary collaboration, case-based learning, and knowledge exchange across the full continuum of Huntington’s disease care—from early identification through advanced stages.
Each regional symposium is thoughtfully designed to:
- Foster collaboration among local and regional HD experts
- Share best practices in clinical care and research
- Address real-world challenges in interdisciplinary care delivery
- Highlight emerging research and therapeutic advancements
- Strengthen connections between HSG sites, HDSA Centers of Excellence, and partner institutions
Participants include neurologists, research coordinators, multidisciplinary healthcare providers, advocacy organizations, and industry partners—all working together to advance outcomes in Huntington’s disease.
