The relentless efforts of advocates of the Alzheimer’s Association and the Alzheimer’s Impact Movement, our sister organization, have resulted in historic Alzheimer’s research funding increases at the National Institutes of Health and greater access to care and support services. But with a new administration and a new Congress on the way, there’s more critical work to be done. Join us at the 2017 Alzheimer’s Association Advocacy Forum March 27-29 to learn about the global and national impact of Alzheimer’s and how to deliver our powerful messages to elected officials.
