SENATOR HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON AS CO-CHAIR
Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton was appointed co-chair of the Congressional Task Force on Alzheimer's Disease last year. Because of the increasing numbers of people who are going to be diagnosed with some type of dementia, the government recognizes the importance of increased research and awareness of dementia. Senator Clinton feels one key issue to be addressed now is in working to find solutions to alleviate the tremendous burdens assumed by the caregivers of people with dementia. She urges people to contact their senators and representatives and urge them to support the Lifespan Respite Care Act. Among other things, this Act would help to develop a statewide system for caregivers regardless of their age, disability or Medicaid status. It would also provide more information to people about respite care services. Senator Clinton says that this bill "picks up where the National Family Caregiver Support Program leaves off."
