Tell Congress that Alzheimer's disease is a national priority.   Dear Friend, The Alzheimer's Association and our supporters have played a crucial role in securing advances in Alzheimer's disease public policy. In the last year alone, we've secured a historic increase of $350 million in federal research funding for Alzheimer's. But to continue improving the lives of the more than 5 million people in the United States living with Alzheimer's disease and their 15 million caregivers, we need your help today. Please sign our petition to join us in urging Congress to pass the Palliative Care and Hospice Education and Training Act (PCHETA). PCHETA would launch a national campaign to increase palliative care and hospice training for health care professionals, improving the quality of life for those living with Alzheimer's, controlling the costs of the disease, and enhancing patient and family satisfaction. It's critical that members of Congress support this important piece of legislation. You can make your voice heard by taking a moment to sign our petition today. Thank you, John Funderburk Director of Advocacy
