We’re proud to celebrate @HealthAllegheny for receiving the BOLD public health program award! @SenBobCasey’s leadership in cosponsoring the #BOLDAlzheimersAct helped make this possible.
“We're in a caregiving crisis...One path forward is more investment in home & community-based services…We [also] need to ensure we're investing in oversight centered on long-term care facilities.” Thank you, @SenBobCasey for emphasizing the importance of quality long-term care.
.@SecBecerra, if @CMSGov will treat drugs for all diseases the same, can you start now? 2,000 people living w/ Alzheimer's each day progress beyond the point where current treatments will help. Yet, still you block Medicare coverage when you don't do so for any other disease.
I heard a lot of inaccuracies of information yesterday as we listened to testimony from @SecBecerra. @GOPMajorityWhip, We need your help. I deserve #moretime as do the other 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s. #ENDALZ#mnleg
Proud to share our recent work demonstrating the distinct astrocyte responses to amyloid and tau. Thank @erzimmer, @zimmerneurolab, @LabPascoal and all collaborators!
Each day that @CMSGov refuses to cover the new FDA-approved treatment, 2,000 people lose the chance for #MoreTime with their loved ones. We will not back down in fighting for equitable access. https://t.co/WPJZ7TZ2UF
🎉IT’S OFFICIAL!🎉Key provisions of the #ENACTAct, language to strengthen the @US_FDA accelerated approval pathway, a $226 million increase in Alzheimer’s & dementia research funding at @NIH, and $33 million to fund the #BOLDAlzheimersAct have been signed into law. (1/2)
On #SundayTODAY: @Maggie_Vespa has this week’s #SundayFocus on news of a promising new drug found to reduce cognitive decline in Alzheimer's patients significantly, offering a potential breakthrough in the long fight against the devastating disease.

Meaningfully change the course of Alzheimer's Disease? Yep, this is a real turning point. People in the early stages of the disease will have more quality time with family and friends, but only if @US_FDA approves this new drug and @CMSGov allows coverage. Our work is not done.
Such important news for people facing early-stage Alzheimer's Disease who need treatments so they have more time with their families and doing the things they enjoy most. #endalz@alzassociation
We are further encouraged by the Phase 3 data presented today from the CLARITY AD global clinical trial of lecanemab. Read our full statement: https://t.co/4WCKHMr56d
I’m honored to become the next CEO of @alzassociation. As the leader in Alzheimer's care, support and research, the Alzheimer’s Association shares my values of putting people and communities first and delivering excellence with integrity and inclusiveness. #ENDALZ
Facing #Alzheimer’s is tough enough already. Tear down Medicare’s barrier to FDA-approved Alzheimer's treatments, @CMSGov. Help us #ENDALZ#progess https://t.co/JTYOurKc8c
On behalf of the more than 6 million Americans living with Alzheimer’s and their families, we enthusiastically welcome the positive topline data reported today on the CLARITY AD Phase 3 clinical trial of lecanemab. Read our full statement: https://t.co/PV7bz21FXv. #Progress (1/4)
