Alzheimer’s is an issue that unites us all 💜 Adam was thrilled to see @RepNikkiB at a City Club of Chicago event focused on bipartisan collaboration. The fight against Alzheimer’s shows that when we work together, bipartisan solutions are possible. Thank you, Congresswoman, for supporting the bipartisan #ASAPAct and helping us #ENDALZ! – at Chicago, IL

RP to join us in thanking ✨ @RepNikkiB ✨ for cosponsoring the bipartisan #ASAPAct (H.R. 6130)! With her support, we’re advancing toward a “mammogram moment” in Alzheimer’s and dementia care - making routine blood tests a standard tool for earlier detection. #ENDALZ

Most primary care physicians report feeling unprepared to provide care for those living with dementia. @SenDuckworth you can help change that! Please enhance dementia training and education by supporting the #AADAPTAct! #ENDALZ
