The U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) today unveiled the first-ever "National Plan To Address
Alzheimer's Disease," as mandated by the National Alzheimer's Project Act
(NAPA).
This is a huge step for our nation especially with our changing demographics and need for evidenced-based standards.
The comprehensive plan calls for the prevention and effective treatment
of Alzheimer's disease by 2025 and lays out strategies related to awareness and
education, clinical care standards, long-term care and supportive services for
family caregivers, and up-to-date training of healthcare
professionals.
