Urgent Call for Alzheimer’s Action

Dr. Robert R. Redfield emphasizes the need for a coordinated national response to the Alzheimer’s crisis, drawing parallels to the HIV/AIDS epidemic. With Alzheimer’s cases expected to double by 2050, early diagnosis and intervention are crucial. Recent advancements, including FDA-approved blood tests and anti-amyloid therapies, offer new opportunities for early-stage treatment. Redfield advocates for policy updates to align with scientific progress, urging the Trump administration to recognize early Alzheimer’s stages and expand access to treatments. He calls for removing restrictive coverage requirements to accelerate innovation and improve patient outcomes.
