Whirlwind Week in Washington
Published Date: March 10th, 2010Category: Alzheimer's Info, Community, Public Policy Forum, Research
I’m just back from a whirlwind week in Washington at this year’s Alzheimer’s Action Summit. The Summit broke an attendance record as over 600 of us stormed the Hill yesterday. There’s so much to report, but frankly I’m jet-lagged and more than a little sleep deprived. So, I’m off to nap, but in the short term I want to share our top three priorities so you can have your voice heard too.
You can help by writing Congress now and telling them it’s time to action on this mounting public health threat. Ask your members of Congress to:
1. To pass the Alzheimer’s Breakthrough Act which will authorize $2 billion in research to Alzheimer’s Disease.
2. To pass the Alzheimer’s Detection, Diagnosis, Care, and Planning Act which will help families get an early diagnosis and better care.
3. To pass the National Alzheimer’s Project Act which will create a strategic federal plan to deal with the Alzheimer’s threat.
