Supporting the goals and ideals of Alzheimer's and Brain Awareness Month.

Key Points

• This resolution officially recognizes June as a time to focus on Alzheimer's disease and brain health. It aims to raise awareness about the 7 million Americans living with the condition and the $384 billion it costs the country each year.
• The measure points out that some groups are hit harder than others. Women make up two-thirds of those with the disease, and Black and Latino Americans face a much higher risk of developing it than other groups.
• It also honors the 11 million people who provide unpaid care for family members with dementia. The resolution encourages the public to support these caregivers, who often face high levels of stress and depression.
