Make Alzheimer’s a National Priority
The MADRC supports increasing dementia awareness and funding for Alzheimer’s disease research and support programs. We need your help. Please consider sharing your story with Congress to express the importance of funding Alzheimer’s research and dementia-specific services.
MADRC representatives and invited guests were among the 500 Alzheimer's advocates who urged legislators to increase funding for services and research at the 21st annual Alzheimer's Association Public Policy Forum. Please read about their experiences.
