Yesterday, the House passed the Dignity in Aging Act, which includes key aspects from my bill, the Younger Onset Alzheimer’s Act.
The #YoungerAlzAct will ensure that people living with younger-onset have access to the critical support they need under the Older Americans Act. 1/4
For too long, Americans living with younger-onset Alzheimer’s and their families have been denied access to vital, federally-funded services offered by the OAA simply because they are under the age of 60. That's not right and my bill would finally help fix this problem. 2/4
This legislation was first brought to my attention by two women from #NY04. Karen Henley, who lost her husband Mike to younger-onset in 2012, and Connie Wasserman, who runs a mostly privately-funded program for families like the Henleys who have nowhere else to go for help. 3/4
Karen and Connie used their experiences with this devastating disease to become tireless advocates for change.
Yesterday, I spoke on the House Floor in support of my bill and to tell their stories. #ENDALZ #YoungerAlzAct 4/4
