March 9 By 2030, the number of all Californians 55 and older living with Alzheimer’s disease will double to 1.1 million. During the same time period, the number of Latinos and Asian-Pacific Islanders living with Alzheimer’s will triple. Current California Baby Boomers age 55 and older have a one in eight risk of developing the disease. Furthermore, while death from other chronic diseases is declining, death rates from Alzheimer’s have risen 66% since 2000. Alzheimer’s disease will bankrupt California’s medical system in 20 years unless we act now. On March 9th, 2011, the Alzheimer’s Association and California Health & Human Services Agency released the California State Plan for Alzheimer’s Disease. The State Plan provides a set of goals, recommendations and strategies to California policymakers that will help California forestall a financial and human tragedy of epic proportions.Download the State Plan Summary
