💔 Alzheimer's patients and caregivers are at risk. The White House's proposed budget cuts to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services could reduce funding and staffing, roll back decades of Alzheimer's research, and harm millions of Americans who rely on these services. We can't let this happen. Take action 👉 Send a letter to your Congressional leaders urging them to oppose these harmful cuts: https://bit.ly/42ifYuH It only takes a few minutes and can make a real impact.

The BOLD Act is a bipartisan program created to address public health, including strengthening the response to the dementia and Alzheimer's crisis. Congress reauthorized BOLD last year, but the now proposed HHS budget cuts announced last week threaten to gut the very programs BOLD supports. 🚫 We can't let this happen! Join us in urging our lawmakers in Congress to protect the BOLD Act and oppose harmful HHS budget cuts: https://lnkd.in/g4x4gYes

Russ is right: The proposed budget cuts to the HHS would gut our nation’s investment in finding a cure to Alzheimer’s disease. Let Congress know that now is not the time to take our foot off the gas. ➡️ https://bit.ly/42ifYuH

Poor mental health is linked to a higher risk of Alzheimer's and dementia — mental distress can trigger cognitive decline. Not only do Black and Latino communities face a higher risk of developing both, but they are also less likely to be diagnosed or treated for depression or anxiety due to systemic barriers that keep them from accessing medical care. It's time to address these disparities and prioritize mental health in all communities. #NationalMinorityHealthMonth https://bit.ly/3XNqx7z
