New Alzheimer's Act

Please join the Alzheimer's Association and Alzheimer's Impact Movement in celebrating the passage of the Building our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Thank your members of Congress!

Together, our year-long effort to advance a public health response to the Alzheimer’s crisis created a groundswell of bipartisan support in both the U.S. Senate and House, resulting in passage of the bill in both chambers. Importantly, this victory invests in our nation’s ability to improve quality of life and reduce associated costs for individuals and the government. The president is expected to sign the bill into law soon.

The passage of the #BOLDAlzheimersAct marks the conclusion of an historic year in Alzheimer’s and dementia policy victories that also included a record increase in federal research funding and the passage of numerous federal and state bills aimed at improving the lives of those living with the disease and their caregivers. Thank you for lifting your voice this year and for being an Alzheimer’s advocate.
