As the country moves forward with a new president and Congress, there are many challenges ahead for our cause. We must take the opportunity to present the case for why Alzheimer's disease must be a national priority.

An estimated 5.3 million people in America have Alzheimer's disease, and the cost to the economy continues to grow. For family caregivers, the monetary costs are made worse by the emotional and physical toll they experience caring for their loved ones. The impact is enormous today and will be in the years to come.

Your voice alone is powerful — our voices together are a force. We all have a role, as people with the disease, as caregivers and as families and friends. The Public Policy Forum helped us come together to share our personal stories and make an impact on our elected officials by letting them know that Alzheimer's disease demands attention now.
