This is what grassroots advocacy looks like! Texans spoke up, and Sen. @JohnCornyn cosponsored the Alzheimer's Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act, expanding access to routine blood testing so more people get answers earlier and care sooner. Thank you, Senator! #ASAPAct #ENDALZ💜

Alz Association, Capital of Texas Chapter retweeted
Alongside @American_Heart, we have filed an amicus brief supporting the Dementia Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (DPRIT), an initiative approved by nearly 70% of voters to advance research on Alzheimer's disease and related dementias.
Despite the clear message sent by the people of Texas, litigation has delayed DPRIT's implementation, but we will continue fighting to see it succeed.

This World Alzheimer's Day, support the #ASAPAct.
Blood tests can catch Alzheimer's early, but Medicare does not cover them yet: alz-action.quorum.us/campaig…
Thank you @JohnCornyn for letting us drop by your Dallas office to show you that more than 300 Texans have signed our letter, urging you to support the #ASAPAct. This would expand access to blood dementia screening tests, leading to better early detection and diagnosis. #ENDALZ
Calling your member of Congress is one of the most powerful things you can do. ☎️ Tell your representative directly to improve early Alzheimer’s detection and diagnosis by supporting the bipartisan #ASAPAct. bit.ly/4ty2arf
