Opportunities in Alzheimer's community/advocacy work
Good evening everyone!!! It's been lots of fun lately seeing all the activity here. Your posts have been so fascinating!
I wanted to share two opportunities with the Alzheimer's Association that you can participate in next year.
First - National Alzheimer's Advocacy Day (June 2nd). The national advocacy day involves in-person conversations with legislators and their representatives in Washington DC. We have 4 policy priorities on our agenda this year:
-- ASAP (Alzheimer's screening and prevention) act - requires medicare to cover the new fda approved AD blood test
-- 2 budget requests for research and research infrastructure
-- AADAPT act - requires additional dementia-specific training for primary care providers
