 Help us Move the National Alzheimer's Project Act ForwardThe National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA) is the largest legislative victory in many years for the Alzheimer cause. The Alzheimer's Association believes the road ahead to NAPA's implementation is as critical as the now-successfully concluded campaign for its enactment, and we are involved in several activities to move this initiative forward. One such activity is Friends of NAPA, which engages other stakeholder groups to convey our broad, deep and united support for NAPA's swift, successful implementation. If you represent an organization that may wish to participate in Friends of NAPA, please get in touch. We will keep you posted as other implementation efforts get under way. Learn more about Friends of NAPA. |
