Washington State Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias
In January 2016, Washington state released State Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease and Other Dementias. The State Plan identifies goals, strategies and recommendations as a blueprint for action. Read the State Plan.
Leading the charge to implement the plan is the Dementia Action Collaborative (DAC) – a group of public-private partners committed to preparing Washington State for the growth of the dementia population. See our DAC Progress Report 2021.
The Dementia Action Collaborative hosts two full group meetings each year, they that are open to the public. Learn more about upcoming DAC Meetings.
