WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senators Shelley Moore Capito (R-W.Va.) and Mark Warner (D-Va.), reintroduced the Concentrating on High-Value Alzheimer’s Needs to Get to an End (CHANGE) Act, bipartisan legislation to encourage early assessment and diagnosis of Alzheimer’s. Companion legislation was also introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives by Linda Sanchez (D- Calif.), Darren LaHood (R-Ill.), Doris Matsui (D-Calif.), and Gus Bilirakis (R-Fla.).
“As we continue to search for breakthroughs in the fight against Alzheimer’s, we must ensure our health care system is doing its part to identify the disease earlier and connect patients and families with the tools they need. The CHANGE Act focuses on practical improvements—like earlier screening and detection—that can make a meaningful difference right now. I’m proud to reintroduce this bill to help improve outcomes, ease the burden on caregivers, and move us closer to ending this devastating disease,” Senator Capito said.
