This legislation ensures that Congress is equipped with the best possible information to set funding priorities to reach the goal of National Alzheimer's Plan to prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer's by 2025.

What are our stroke associations doing to get a National Stroke Plan out there? There are 7 million stroke survivors in the US, increasing by 500,000 a year. If we don't get a Plan going we will never solve the problems in stroke.
Dear dean,

This week, Congress has the opportunity to take a major step forward in the fight against Alzheimer's disease, but they need to hear from you. Congress is voting on the fiscal year 2015 funding bill, which includes the Alzheimer's Accountability Act. This legislation ensures that Congress is equipped with the best possible information to set funding priorities to reach the goal of National Alzheimer's Plan to prevent and effectively treat Alzheimer's by 2025. The bill also includes an additional $25 million increase for vital Alzheimer's research.

I hope you'll join the Alzheimer's Association by signing our petition calling on Congress to approve the Alzheimer's Accountability Act and increase funding for Alzheimer's disease.

As you know, the Alzheimer's epidemic takes an enormous human and financial toll on our nation. Today there are more than 5 million Americans living with Alzheimer's, and the disease has been recognized by the New England Journal of Medicine as the most expensive condition in America.

To prevent, stop or even slow the fatal progression of Alzheimer's disease we must increase critical research. That's why it's so important that Congress takes action this week.

Please take a moment to sign our petition. Call on Congress to act today!

By signing our petition, you'll be standing with the Alzheimer's Association as we continue our work to fight for increased funding for Alzheimer's research, improved access to care and support services for families facing the disease.

Tell Congress today: It's time to act on Alzheimer's.

Thank you,


Harry Johns
President and CEO
