📺 Watch @RachelAlz, our senior vice president of public policy, discuss the importance of passing the bipartisan Alzheimer's Screening and Prevention (ASAP) Act. Fxn.ws/4fzZS7x
Thank you @RepLiccardo for your support in the fight to #ENDALZ!
Thank you to the @alzassociation & @alznorcal advocates who joined me in Palo Alto to share their personal stories and experiences.
These conversations remind us why investing in research, early detection, and support for caregivers is so important. Special thanks to Bart and Nancy Westcott and Kate Kriner helping make this happen.
Thank you @RepMcCormick for your support in the fight to #ENDALZ!
It’s always a great day when I get to catch up with my friends at the Georgia Alzheimer’s Association.
Artificial intelligence has the potential to revolutionize medical research, and I look forward to the day we can celebrate the world’s first Alzheimer’s survivor.
Thank you, Jamie and Cabot, for your continued partnership and dedication to this mission.

#ENDALZ advocates like Katie are raising their voices in support of the bipartisan #ASAPAct. If signed into law, this bill would make routine Alzheimer's blood tests the new standard of care. Add your voice: bit.ly/442ieIq

.@alzassociation Chief Public Policy Officer @RobertEgge shares with @pfcd that 90% of Americans support Medicare coverage for routine Alzheimer’s blood tests. The bipartisan #ASAPAct would help make this a reality. Add your voice: bit.ly/442ieIq
As many as half of the over 7 million Americans living with Alzheimer's are not diagnosed. That's millions of people who could benefit from early detection – and millions more as these tests are showing promise to detect the disease even before symptoms present.

Earlier Alzheimer's detection leads to earlier action - treatment, planning and ultimately, better outcomes. But earlier detection is only possible if we clear the path - under current law, Medicare cannot cover any Alzheimer’s blood test for individuals without symptoms – even when @FDA approved. #ASAPAct is a concrete, bipartisan, ready-to-pass solution. pfcdalz.org/post/advocates-a…

Thank you @RepPaulTonko for supporting early Alzheimer’s detection and diagnosis by championing the bipartisan #ASAPAct. The #ENDALZ community greatly appreciates your strong leadership on Capitol Hill.
There have been many promising advancements in Alzheimer's diagnoses and treatments in recent years. But that progress will mean little if patients cannot access or afford them. I joined my colleague @VernBuchanan to push for legislation that ensures access to screening tests that diagnose this disease early. Read more in our op-ed in @thehill:

By passing the bipartisan #ASAPAct, Congress can improve early Alzheimer’s detection and diagnosis. Join us in thanking @VernBuchanan for championing this important issue and for his unwavering support for those impacted by dementia.
When it comes to Alzheimer’s, time matters.
My bipartisan ASAP Act would give seniors access to simple blood tests that catch this disease early, giving families more time, more options and more hope. Read my op-ed in @thehill.

Early detection can make a life-changing difference for people with Alzheimer’s.
As Chairman of the @waysandmeansGOP Health Subcommittee, I’ll work alongside @RepPaulTonko to pass the ASAP Act and expand access to preventive screening.

People see the greatest benefit from Alzheimer’s treatments when they begin them at the initial onset of mild cognitive impairment, making early detection essential. Urge Congress to support the bipartisan #ASAPAct to cover routine Alzheimer’s blood tests. bit.ly/442ieIq
Thank you @RepBonamici for your strong support in the fight to #ENDALZ!
Today I participated in the 2026 Walk to End Alzheimer's at the @OregonZoo with @alzorswwa.
#EndAlz #WalkToEndAlzheimers
Thank you @RepCiscomani for your strong support in the fight to #ENDALZ!
Today, I met with the Alzheimer’s Association to discuss efforts to improve early detection, expand access to diagnosis, and advance Alzheimer’s and dementia research.
They thanked me for my support of the ASAP Act to improve access to early detection for Alzheimer’s and the AADAPT Act to help rural primary care doctors better diagnose and manage Alzheimer’s disease locally.

Thank you to @VernBuchanan and @RepPaulTonko for their bipartisan leadership on the #ASAPAct. Read their joint op-ed in @thehill: A simple blood test can detect Alzheimer’s before symptoms appear, but Medicare can’t cover screening. Congress can fix that. bit.ly/4yeiccu

#ENDALZ advocates like Theresa are urging their elected officials to improve early Alzheimer's detection and diagnosis by supporting the bipartisan #ASAPAct. Together, we can change the standard of care. Add your voice: bit.ly/442ieIq
@RepLuzRivas please cosponsor the #ASAPAct! Theresa of North Hollywood asks for your support, because earlier detection of Alzheimer's through a simple blood test "will help families like mine get answers sooner and plan for the future." #ENDALZ

A simple blood test could change everything for families facing Alzheimer’s.
As Chairman of the @WaysandMeansGOP Health Subcommittee, I introduced the bipartisan ASAP Act to expand Medicare coverage to catch Alzheimer’s early, a disease that affects over 7.2 million Americans.
