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/Plnvl5aWHV

.A big thank you to Zoleiry from @RepChuyGarcia's office for taking time to discuss passing the #ASAPAct. A simple blood test can make early detection possible for all Medicare patients giving more time to plan for treatment, care and making memories with loved ones. #ENDALZ

[Brittany Altemus @ALZtemusprime]

.Grateful for time with Kody from @RepMikeQuigley's office to discuss passing the #ASAPAct and supporting #AADAPTAct. This legislation will change quality of care for all facing Dementia as we continue the quest to #ENDALZ 💜

.A big thank you to Caleb from @RepDannyDavis' office for taking time to discuss passing the #ASAPAct & supporting the #AADAPTAct. A simple blood test & trained primary physicians will make all the difference in our community to face Dementia head on & the hope we need to #ENDALZ

[Brittany Altemus @ALZtemusprime]

The bipartisan #ASAPAct would revolutionize Alzheimer's care by enabling Medicare coverage of routine blood tests. Help us achieve our “mammogram moment” by cosponsoring this bill, @RepChuyGarcia!

A huge thank you to @SenatorCelina for her support to make Alzheimer's and Dementia legislation a priority 💜 #AlzILAdvocacy #ENDALZ

Today - March 25 - is our Alzheimer’s Day of Action! Advocates from across Illinois are calling on their state legislators to protect families seeking early detection of Alzheimer's - and we need your voice too.

📣 Make your voice heard: https://t.co/5pNXnqAcYQ #ENDALZ

Today was a success turning the IL capital purple! 💜 Thank you to all our IL State Senators, Representatives and their staff for their work and support in state policy to support those with Alzheimer's and Dementia #ALZILAdvocacy #EndAlz

[ALZ Illinois Advocacy @AlzILAdvocacy]

Look out, Springfield - we’re on our way!

Today for our Alzheimer’s Day of Action, some advocates are heading to the state capitol to turn it PURPLE and meet with their legislators. Together, we’re raising our voices and advancing critical policies in the fight to #ENDALZ 💜📣

[Brittany Altemus @ALZtemusprime]

.@RepChuyGarcia did you know that only 50% of those living with Alzheimer’s are formally diagnosed? By cosponsoring the #AADAPTAct, you can help primary care providers better detect and diagnose Alzheimer's & dementia. #ENDALZ

[Brittany Altemus @ALZtemusprime]

Congress can help ensure more timely access to FDA-approved dementia blood tests by passing the bipartisan #ASAPAct! @RepChuyGarcia, please show your support by cosponsoring H.R. 6130!

[Brittany Altemus @ALZtemusprime]

Americans most at risk for dementia face barriers to early detection & diagnosis. @RepChuyGarcia, by cosponsoring the #ASAPAct (H.R. 6130), you can help us ensure more timely access to FDA-approved dementia blood tests! #ENDALZ

This #NationalFamilyCaregiversMonth, we join Don Cheadle in honoring the incredible individuals caring for loved ones with Alzheimer’s or other dementia. Your dedication and compassion make a profound difference every day. We are grateful for you. 💜 #HonorACaregiver #ENDALZ

[Brittany Altemus @ALZtemusprime]

The financial toll of Alzheimer’s, especially on family caregivers, is staggering. Investing in dementia research now can help lessen these costs in the future. @RepChuyGarcia, this #NationaFamilyCaregiversMonth, join us in supporting #ENDALZ research funding!

[Brittany Altemus @ALZtemusprime]

#Halloween isn’t the only thing haunting families - it’s Alzheimer’s. @RepChuyGarcia, hear how SCARY these statistics are for Illinoisans like Robin and be reminded of why we need your continued support for #ENDALZ policies. Let’s fight this frightening disease together!

[ALZ Illinois Advocacy @AlzILAdvocacy]

This morning @RepChuyGarcia opened our 2nd Annual Bringing the Light virtual conference — focused on supporting Latino families & professionals impacted by Alzheimer’s across Illinois. We’re deeply grateful to have the Congressman as a partner & leader in the fight to #ENDALZ 💜

[Brittany Altemus @ALZtemusprime]

Alzheimer’s isn’t stopping, so neither does our advocacy for increased research into better detection, treatment, and care to #ENDALZ! @RepChuyGarcia, bipartisan congressional support has accelerated our progress, but more work remains.

[Brittany Altemus @ALZtemusprime]

Last week, over 1,100 advocates turned Capitol Hill purple to tell Congress to do more, not less, in the fight to #ENDALZ. @RepChuyGarcia please help us keep our momentum by supporting ALZ priorities!

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

Almost two-thirds of Americans with Alzheimer's are women. By adopting these healthy habits, we can all protect our brain health: https://t.co/7vvu63aEDs. #WomensHealthMonth
