I’m writing to be sure you saw this exciting news about new Alzheimer’s legislation that was introduced in Congress yesterday. The Concentrating on High Value Alzheimer’s Needs to Get to an End [CHANGE] Act, developed by Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV), Roger Wicker (R-MS), Debbie Stabenow (D-MI), and Bob Menendez (D-NJ) and Representatives Peter Roskam (R-IL) and Linda Sanchez (D-CA), is a bipartisan bill crafted to help support the millions of families affected by Alzheimer’s. UsAgainstAlzheimer’s has worked closely with the bill’s co-sponsors to conceptualize and develop this legislation.
The CHANGE Act encourages timely and accurate assessment, detection and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s, supports innovative approaches to support family caregivers, and removes regulatory barriers to disease modifying treatments. Read more about this exciting news here.
Thank you and we look forward to working with you to advance this critical legislation for the Alzheimer’s community.

I can’t put into words how humbled and honored I am to be named one of fourteen people, picked by Oprah and her team as a 2018, “Health Hero.” Being mentioned twice in one year in the “O” magazine is just down right amazing.
