| National Alzheimer's Input Report Released  Today, the Alzheimer's Association held a briefing on Capitol Hill releasing a groundbreaking new report that shows the depth and breadth of the Alzheimer's crisis in America.
This new report, titled Alzheimer's from the Frontlines: Challenges a National Alzheimer's Plan Must Address, offers the insights of people living with the disease, their caregivers, relatives and other stakeholders from across the country who participated in the Alzheimer's Association's public input process. You played an integral role in this process by helping us pass the National Alzheimer's Project Act and by giving us valuable input along the way. We now want you to download your own personal copy of the report from www.alz.org/napa and use it to help spread awareness about what our nation needs to do to combat Alzheimer's disease, and to advocate for those advances. From July to October 2011, the Alzheimer's Association gathered public input through online submissions, a national Telephone Town Hall and 132 public input sessions throughout the country. Tens of thousands of individuals from all 50 states, the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico engaged in the public input process to identify the challenges the National Alzheimer's Plan must address. Thanks to your ongoing efforts, our elected officials in Washington D.C. will hear us loud and clear. They will come to understand the difficulties that families on the frontlines are facing across this nation. Download your copy of this report and ensure that the needs and concerns of families just like yours are heard around the country. Share this call to action with your friends, your neighbors and the elected officials in your community. Together, our voices will make a difference. Robert Egge
Vice President, Public Policy
