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/fUJIfqCIjn

@RepGwenMoore We need the #ASAPAct to ensure early detection of Alzheimer's disease! #ENDALZ

[ALZ Impact Movement @ALZIMPACT]

Like to tell @RepGwenMoore to allow Medicare to cover routine Alzheimer’s blood tests like how Congress did for mammograms. #ASAPAct

[ALZ Impact Movement @ALZIMPACT]

Thank you, @RepMarkPocan, for cosponsoring the #ASAPAct and for standing with the Alzheimer's and dementia community.

Congrats to Vinitia Strong-McDonald for being named a @CBS58 Everyday Hero. She's a tireless advocate for the Alzheimer's Association & a member of our Board. After losing her sister to dementia, Vinitia has turned her family's story into action. https://t.co/hkl8GtG5zC

Today the Senate Comm. on Health held a public hearing on SB 959, legislation that would strengthen dementia-specific training requirements for staff in WI memory care facilities. Gov Relations Dir Vanessa joined advocates who courageously shared their stories. #ENDALZ #WI4ALZ

Kathy and I were honored to receive the Alzheimer's Association of Wisconsin's Leadership and Champion Awards.

This issue has always been near and dear to our hearts. Together, we must continue our fight to raise awareness, support caregivers, and #EndAlz.

This morning, I had the privilege of participating in a legislative panel hosted by the Alzheimer's Association Wisconsin Chapter with my colleagues Representative Dean Kaufert, Representative Pat Snyder, and Senator LaTonya Johnson. (1/3)

Thank you @repbryansteil for continued investment in Alzheimer’s research brings us closer to breakthroughs families need. #ENDALZ

Continued investment in Alzheimer’s and dementia research brings us closer to life‑changing breakthroughs and strengthens support for families, caregivers, and communities nationwide. Thank you for supporting this progress, @senronjohnson! #ENDALZ

@senatorbaldwin Thank you for advancing Alzheimer's and dementia research by supporting an additional $100M for NIH in FY26 and $41.5M for continued implementation of the BOLD Infrastructure for Alzheimer's Act at CDC.

Too often, facilities advertise “memory care” without meeting the specialized standards needed to support individuals with dementia.

Ask your lawmakers to cosponsor LRB-2924 today!

@brienne_brown Please cosponsor LRB 2924 to ensure memory care facilities provide high-quality care for residents with dementia! #WI4ALZ #ENDALZ

[Vanessa Kent @vanessa_dingman]

Memory care costs 15-25% more than assisted living, but “memory care” is not a legally-defined term! Let’s establish clear standards to ensure these facilities provide high-quality care for residents with dementia. @markforassembly #WI4ALZ #ENDALZ
