Urging legislative support of the recommendations included in the West Virginia Partnership for Elder Living’s Make a Plan for Alzheimer’s Final Report and Recommendations.

    Whereas, According to the Alzheimer's Association, 44,000 West Virginians over 65 have Alzheimer’s and 4,000 individuals under 65 have younger-onset Alzheimer’s; and

    Whereas, The Make a Plan for Alzheimer’s initiative was created to develop a long-term plan to address Alzheimer's disease in West Virginia; and

    Whereas, The present and future impact of Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias in West Virginia demands the implementation of solutions directed at improving quality of care; the training and awareness of healthcare providers, families and the public; and fostering research into all aspects of the disease; and

    Whereas, These recommendations will provide more information regarding Alzheimer’s disease to patients, families, caregivers, the medical community and policymakers; expand care and improve the quality of care available to Alzheimer’s patients; and equip families and health care workers with the training, tools and resources they need to better care for individuals living with Alzheimer’s; therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Legislature of West Virginia:

    That the West Virginia Legislature supports the recommendations of the West Virginia Partnership for Elder Living’s Make a Plan for Alzheimer’s Final Report and Recommendations; and, be it
