Presidential Message on National Alzheimer’s Disease Awareness Month

Key Points

• The President marks Alzheimer’s Awareness Month and promises to speed up research and innovation
• About 7 million Americans live with Alzheimer’s today, so faster progress could help many families
• A new health commission will look at root causes of chronic disease and suggest changes to food, health, and science systems
• The plan says research money will focus on results, with less paperwork and more open, honest science
• This is a message, not a new law, so life may not change now, but it could lead to quicker tests and treatments later
