#ENDALZ

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

We’re turning Capitol Hill purple! 
✅ Purple gear
✅ Powerful stories of love and hope
✅ Unwavering commitment to #ENDALZ

Our advocates are headed to meet with their members of Congress to advance policies to improve the lives of all those impacted by Alzheimer’s and all other dementia. Repost  to show your support! #alzforum

[Light24 @Light24sky]

Please Congress, support the bipartisan Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act, which will allow Medicare to cover screening to detect Alzheimer’s before symptoms. #ASAPAct #alzadvocacyfl #endalz

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

“Today, more than one thousand of you made your voices heard. You sat across from your members of Congress — some of you for the first time, some of you for the tenth — and you told them what is at stake. That is not a small thing."

Our emcee for the evening, journalist & #ENDALZ Celebrity Champion @RichardLui, opens the National Alzheimer’s Dinner by celebrating our advocates who turned Capitol Hill purple earlier today.

Love is - when you can share your #ALZ story with your son @jasonsyptak #alzforum #endalz❣️

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

Caregivers Calvin Hara, Sally Oelschlager Vulich and Liana Redshaw share their difficult experiences getting a diagnosis for their loved ones. But now, thanks to sustained research funding, the story can be different.

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

“The #ASAPAct does not pass on its own. It passes because you do not let your members forget the promise of this moment. It passes because you go home inspired and you make sure the people around you understand what is at stake.”

Our President and CEO @joannepikedrph closes out #alzforum by encouraging #ENDALZ advocates to keep pushing Congress to pass the Alzheimer’s Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act.

Stand with them and tell your representatives to make routine Alzheimer’s and dementia blood tests the standard of care: https://t.co/IrWzDGmPpS.

Met with @AlzFlorida and they had the nicest advocates for this important issue facing so many Floridians, like my uncle - Dr. F. L. Anzalone (USN CAPT Ret.)

[Alzheimer's Association Advocacy Florida @AlzAdvocacyFL]

Thank you to @RepGregSteube office for meeting with @AlzFlorida advocates to discuss critical Alzheimer’s legislation. We hope you will cosponsor H.R. 6130 the ASAP Act which will require Medicare to cover FDA approved blood tests for Alz diagnosis and H.R. 3747 AADAPT Act.

[Alzheimer's Association Advocacy Florida @AlzAdvocacyFL]

Thank you to the staff at Rep @MikeHaridopolos office for meeting with @AlzFlorida advocates today. We appreciate your time. Hope you can support critical Alzheimer’s legislation.

Alzheimer's? A public health crisis. Florida? At its epicenter. To alleviate its devastating impact on Floridians, please Sen. @IleanaGarciaUSA support $491,614 funding for the Brain Bus and an increase of $3 million for ADI respite program. @AlzAdvocacyFL

[Alzheimer's Association, Florida Gulf Coast @AlzFLGulf]

As we celebrate all the amazing fathers today, our hearts are also with all the families who have lost a loved one to Alzheimer’s. Together, we will continue our work to #ENDALZ in their honor. #FathersDay

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

Our President and CEO @joannepikedrph shares a message of gratitude for our volunteers to kick off #NationalVolunteerWeek.

We are thankful for our volunteers for the many ways they move our mission forward. Together, we are having an undeniable impact on people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, care partners, and families.

We invite our volunteers to visit https://t.co/XDfZGsqE7h for special graphics to help you show off your purple volunteer pride. #ENDALZ

Thank you to Rep. Bruce Antone for your cosponsorship of HB 1065. We are grateful for your support. #ENDALZ

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

The bipartisan BOLD Alzheimer’s program is at risk. Take action NOW to urge your members of Congress to defend BOLD and continue strengthening our nation’s public health response to Alzheimer’s: https://t.co/VnJBSkm6N9. #BOLDAlzheimersAct

[Alzheimer's Association @alzassociation]

Cuts made today by the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) may undermine our nation’s response to the dementia public health crisis. Read our statement: https://t.co/0zsALlAOWX.

[Alzheimer's Association Florida @AlzFlorida]

More than 100 advocates from across the Sunshine State gathered at the historic #Florida Capitol to raise awareness for Alzheimer's. Learn more about the event and dementia priorities for this year’s legislative session from @TDOnline at https://t.co/oCKvl0kB4D

It's a beautiful day at the annual Rotary chili cookoff. People are so open to learning about ways to reduce risk of dementia. Thanks to Todd Turpin an Alzheimer's Association volunteer community educator we are able to talk to more people today. #brainbus @AlzFlorida #endalz

[Senator Carlos Guillermo Smith @CarlosGSmith]

Proud to officially co-sponsor SB 398 with @DannyBurgessFL creating more public awareness and early diagnosis of Alzheimer’s in Florida!

Thank you to constituent Zahydie Burgos Ribot for bringing this bill to my attention. Advocacy works!! 💪🏼📰
