Earlier this month, the Alzheimer’s Foundation of America issued a statement about new laws to combat Alzheimer’s disease:
“The Alzheimer’s Foundation of America applauds the federal government for continuing to prioritize the fight against Alzheimer’s disease with the enactment of the NAPA Reauthorization Act and the Alzheimer’s Accountability and Investment Act, both of which received Congressional approval and were recently signed into law by the President.
Both new laws will go a long way towards ensuring that Washington continues investing in Alzheimer’s research towards a cure, while also focusing on improving early detection; enhancing caregiver support; risk reduction; and raising awareness.
“We are grateful to the President and lawmakers in the House and Senate for working together in a bipartisan manner to address this growing public health crisis that continues to affect millions of Americans every day. Building off this progress remains essential.”
