Thanks to Congressman Woodall!!!
For His Co-Sponsorship of the Younger-Onset Alzheimer's Disease Act
Because of their young age, people living with Younger-Onset Alzheimer’s are not currently eligible for support and service programs available to older Americans. The Younger-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Act of 2019 (H.R. 1903 / S. 901) would fix this. Through the Younger-Onset Alzheimer’s Disease Act of 2019, individuals under the age of 60 living with the disease would have access to programs and supports found in the Older Americans Act (OAA). These would include nutritional programs, respite services for family caregivers, and other services to enhance quality of life.
Please, join me in thanking Congressman Rob Woodall for his co-sponsorship of this important bi-partisan legislation.
