The National Alzheimer’s Project: From Act to Action

The National Alzheimer’s Project: From Act to Action is an effort to support a committed and effective implementation of the National Alzheimer’s Project Act (NAPA). Information collected from individuals living with the disease, caregivers, providers and other stakeholders will be shared with the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, which is responsible for creating a national strategy to address the crisis and coordinate across government agencies. This project is facilitated and supported by the Alzheimer’s Association.
