By 2050 nearly 16 million Americans will have Alzheimer’s, yet there is no national plan to deal with this looming crisis. The National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) would establish an inter-agency advisory council to address the government’s efforts on Alzheimer’s research, care, institutional services, and home- and community-based programs. Find out if your member of Congress is a co-sponsor of NAPA at www.alz.kintera.org/NAPACosponsors. If not, ask your member of Congress to act now and support NAPA (S. 3036 / H.R. 4689). Not sure who your member of Congress is? Use the Find Your Elected Official tool. Many other countries have already developed plans, the United States is lagging behind these nations: Australia, Canada, Cyprus, England, France, Germany, Netherlands, Norway, South Korea and Sweden.
State Government Alzheimer's Disease Plans create the infrastructure and accountability necessary to build dementia-capable programs for the growing number of people with the disease.
