Since its founding in 1999, the bipartisan Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer’s Disease has worked to advance research, meet the needs of people living with Alzheimer’s and raise public awareness of Alzheimer’s and other dementia.

Thanks to our hardworking advocates in states like Maryland, AIM is leading the way to pass laws that improve the lives of those living with dementia and their caregivers. In Maryland’s 2022 legislative session, advocates worked to develop, introduce and grow support for several bills that became laws. These laws will build Alzheimer’s awareness, improve the quality of care statewide, and help build out the public health infrastructure to help Marylanders impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementia.

The 2011 enactment of the landmark National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA) ushered in a new era, changing the way our nation addresses Alzheimer’s and all other dementia.
