NAPA: Landmark Legislation Sparks Decade of Progress

See how far we’ve come

The Alzheimer’s Association is leading the fight to make Alzheimer’s a national priority

In 2010, the Alzheimer’s Association and the Alzheimer’s Impact Movement, a separately incorporated advocacy affiliate, worked with Congress to develop the National Alzheimer's Project Act (NAPA). Signed into law on Jan. 4, 2011, NAPA led to the creation of a national strategic plan to address the rapidly escalating Alzheimer’s crisis and fundamentally changed the way the nation addresses Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.

Working toward the national goal of preventing and effectively treating Alzheimer's by 2025, the Alzheimer’s Association, AIM and our nationwide network of advocates are the driving force leading to unprecedented levels of federal research funding and improved access to care and support services.

Ask Congress to pass the NAPA Reauthorization Act and the Alzheimer’s Accountability and Investment Act

Congress must renew this critical legislation to ensure we continue the momentum toward our vision of a world without Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
