Of the Top Ten causes of death in the U.S. - #6 - Alzheimer’s is the ONLY one that cannot be prevented, cured, or even slowed.

Over a thousand advocates called on their Congressional Representatives and urged them to support this increase in funding.  We met with representatives for Lois Capp, whose district is Santa Barbara County CA, and Julia Bromley, whose district is Ventura County, CA.

 We thanked the Representatives for their previous support for the HOPE Act, which ensures Medicare coverage to doctors for taking necessary time, for a newly-diagnosed Alzheimer’s patient, to discuss with them and their caregivers what they can expect, and how to plan for it. We are happy to report both Representatives said they expected to again support the HOPE Act when it is reintroduced this session. Over a hundred Senators and Representatives have now signed on as co-sponsors.

 We were also pleased that both Capp and Bromley have joined the Task Force on Alzheimer’s, making awareness of Alzheimer’s disease a priority.  

 Of the Top Ten causes of death in the U.S. - #6 - Alzheimer’s is the ONLY one that cannot be prevented, cured, or even slowed.

The need is immediate and the time to invest in research is now!
