Dear Tushar,
“Alzheimer's is the most under-recognized threat to public health in the 21st century.” — Dr. David Satcher, former U.S. Surgeon General and former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
We need your help. Please contact Congress today and ask for support of the Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act.
The BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act would direct the CDC to do the following: - Establish Alzheimer's Centers of Excellence to identify and help implement effective interventions such as ways to increase early detection and diagnosis, reduce risk and prevent avoidable hospitalizations.
- Award funding to public health departments to help implement those interventions identified by Alzheimer's Centers of Excellence in communities across the country.
- Increase data collection, analysis and timely reporting of Alzheimer's disease and caregiving data.
Please tell Congress to support the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act today.
Thank you,
John Funderburk
