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.
