 Draft National Alzheimer's Plan Released, Comments Encouraged
Last week, the US Department of Health and Human Services released the first draft for a National Alzheimer's Plan. The draft outlines a number of important initiatives for finding a treatment and cure and supporting individuals with the disease and their care partners. We believe this is an important first step and are encouraging the administration to, as the plan is revised, ensure that it outlines a commitment to the level of resources needed to meet the goals of the plan. We encourage you to examine the plan for yourself and provide your comments.
