State Alzheimer's disease plans create the infrastructure and accountability necessary to confront the sweeping economic and social impact of this disease. By bringing together essential stakeholders — such as state agency officials, legislators, care providers, family caregivers, and people with Alzheimer's — the state planning process is able to identify critical issues, explore solutions, and construct a roadmap to guide a state's development into a dementia-capable state.

Vermont’s Governor’s Commission on Alzheimer’s and Related Disorders was established in 1991 to provide leadership on public health policy and coordination to identify and address the needs of those with Alzheimer’s and related disorders, and their caregivers and families.
