On December 11, I was proud to see my Building Our Largest Dementia (BOLD) Infrastructure for Alzheimer’s Reauthorization Act of 2024 be signed into law by the President.
Alzheimer’s Disease and related dementias affects patients and their families across our Commonwealth and the nation indiscriminately. The BOLD Act will help individuals, families, caregivers, and the health care system by reauthorizing critical programs to improve early detection and diagnosis, as well as provide resources to help identify more effective treatments for those living with Alzheimer’s Disease. My bill also helps to provide caregiver support resources to improve the quality of life for patients and their loved ones caring for them.
This bill will not only help families across Kentucky but our entire nation that are suffering from the effects of Alzheimer’s disease. I am proud to have led this important charge and I remain committed to helping patients and caregivers with Alzheimer's until we are able to irradicate this awful disease once and for all.
