Your action is needed now to support all those affected by Alzheimer's disease. Please send a message to Congress today.   Anyone who knows someone living with Alzheimer's understands just how devastating this disease is, and the toll it takes on all those affected. But there is action we can take today to address this public health crisis.   The Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act (S. 2076/H.R. 4256) would improve the nationwide response to Alzheimer's by: Advancing effective public health interventions across the country through education of public health officials, health care professionals and the public on Alzheimer's, brain health and health disparities. Providing resources to state and local public health officials to increase early detection and diagnosis, reduce risk, prevent avoidable hospitalizations and reduce health disparities. Supporting the needs of caregivers and care planning for people living with the disease. Send a message to your representative and join the fight to advance the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act.   Thank you, John Funderburk Senior Director of Advocacy Alzheimer's Association     Your donation will strengthen our efforts to advance Alzheimer's care, support and research.
