ACT-AD Coalition

ACT-AD is a broad-based coalition of more than 30 national organizations seeking to accelerate the development of a cure and treatments for Alzheimer’s disease. The coalition is dedicated to increasing public and government recognition of Alzheimer’s as a life-threatening disease that requires urgent attention. The coalition was launched at a press conference at the National Press Club in April 2006, and is chaired by Daniel Perry, executive director of the Alliance for Aging Research. The coalition is growing and gaining momentum and provides information, updates, and engagement opportunities through its web site, www.act-ad.org.
