Mr. Speaker, Greeting · 11 words I rise today in support of H.R.1 3747, the AADAPT Act. Greeting Claims · 36 words Alzheimer’s disease is one of the most significant public health challenges facing our country today. Unearned certainty More than 7 million Americans, including over 236,000 Ohioans, are living with this devastating disease, 2 and those numbers continue to grow. Reasoning · 97 words The sooner we can identify Alzheimer’s and other dementias, the sooner patients and families can begin treatment, plan for the future, and access the care and support they need. Off point For many families, especially in rural and underserved communities, a primary care provider is the first, and often only, healthcare professional they see when memory loss or cognitive decline begins. The AADAPT Act strengthens and reauthorizes the Project ECHO program, giving those providers access to specialized training and mentoring so they can recognize the signs of a potential condition and deliver better care earlier and closer to home.3 Mr. Speaker, The ask · 29 words I urge my colleagues to support this bill, which is a practical, bipartisan solution that strengthens our healthcare workforce and improves access to quality care for patients and families.
