 Sherry Lynn Harris and Jason Barnes, Field Representative to Congresswoman Julia Bromley, display letter Bromley sent Sherry thanking her for a copy of her book Adapting to Alzheimer's. Bromley states " Your story about how you cared for your mother while she endured Alzheimer's disease is profoundly impactful. I want to commend you on the compelling narrative you crafted. I sincerely appreciate you sharing your experience with me and so many others."

The main issues we were discussing with Rep. Bromley staff were the increase in research funding and thanking her for her support of:

The HOPE for Alzheimer’s Act (S. 857/H.R. 1559) is legislation that would:

  • Provide Medicare coverage for comprehensive care planning services following a dementia diagnosis; the services would be available to both the diagnosed individual and his/her caregiver.
  • Ensure that documentation of a dementia diagnosis and any care planning provided is included in an individual’s medical record.
  • Require the Department of Health and Human Services to educate providers about the new benefit and to identify any barriers individuals face in accessing care planning.
