Letter from Senator Barbara Boxer

Thank you for contacting me to request my support for S.709, Health Outcomes, Planning, and Education for Alzheimer’s (HOPE) Act, which would provide for comprehensive Alzheimer’s disease diagnosis and services, and make it easier for people with Alzheimer’s to get access to the services they need under Medicare.

Letter From Senator Dianne Feinstein

Thank you for contacting me to share your support for Alzheimer’s research and care. I appreciate the time you took to write and welcome the opportunity to respond. Like you, I am deeply concerned for the millions of Americans who live with Alzheimer’s disease. Alzheimer’s can have devastating effects on individuals and their families.
