Thank you to the staff at @RepSamGraves office for meeting with our advocates to talk about legislative priorities around Alzheimer's and dementia. #ENDALZ

[Alzheimer's Association Missouri Chapter @ALZMissouri]

As our advocates go to Capitol Hill today, YOU can strengthen their message! Ask your members of Congress to invest an additional $187.21 million in research funding at the NIH and $41.5 million in implementing the #BOLDAlzheimersAct at the CDC. https://t.co/6IHTWuyqAX

Advocates from across Missouri are in Washington D.C. for the Alzheimer’s Impact Movement (AIM) Advocacy Forum! Huge thanks to Nicole Garrison, Amy Wheeler, Allen Serfas, Paul Bauer, Marcia Rauwerdink, Grant Beasley, and Felicia Beasley for attending and fighting to #ENDALZ

More than 9 in 10 Americans say they would want a simple test for Alzheimer’s. The bipartisan #ASAPAct is crucial to ensure access. Tell your representatives to support this important bill today: https://t.co/QvihHUqqiI.

[Alzheimer's Association Missouri Chapter @ALZMissouri]

Making a phone call 📳 is one of the most effective ways to show Congress what’s important to you. We’ve made it easy for you to share with your representatives why passing the bipartisan #ASAPAct is so important to the Alzheimer’s and dementia community. https://t.co/OSfX2Nytwt

[Alzheimer's Association Missouri Chapter @ALZMissouri]

People see the greatest benefit from Alzheimer’s treatments when they begin them at the initial onset of mild cognitive impairment, making early detection essential. Urge Congress to support the bipartisan #ASAPAct to cover routine Alzheimer’s blood tests. https://t.co/QvihHUqqiI

[Alzheimer's Association Missouri Chapter @ALZMissouri]

When Congress enabled Medicare coverage for routine mammograms, screening rates soared & breast cancer deaths fell. This is a “mammogram moment” for Alzheimer’s. Tell Congress to make detection the standard in care by supporting the bipartisan #ASAPAct. https://t.co/QvihHUqqiI

[Alzheimer's Association Missouri Chapter @ALZMissouri]

Researchers have developed blood tests that can detect Alzheimer’s biomarkers in a simpler way than previous methods. But, this progress exceeds what Medicare can cover under current law. Tell Congress to support the bipartisan #ASAPAct to ensure access: https://t.co/QvihHUqqiI.

[Alzheimer's Association Missouri Chapter @ALZMissouri]

A simple blood test 🩸 can detect Alzheimer’s before symptoms appear, and the bipartisan Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act ensures people benefit from this scientific milestone. Message your representatives today. https://t.co/QvihHUqqiI #ASAPAct
