Launch of the Milken Institute's Alliance to Improve Dementia Care
The Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging has launched the Alliance to Improve Dementia Care. The Alliance will seek to transform and improve the complex health and long-term care systems that people at risk for and living with dementia must navigate.
13 million people in the U.S. are projected to have Alzheimer’s disease or related dementias in the next 20 years. Leveraging the convening experience and expansive network of the Milken Institute and its partners, the Alliance will bring together stakeholders from health systems, industry, research, advocacy, philanthropy, and government.
"The Alliance comes at a critical moment to ensure we build workforce capacity and implement comprehensive dementia-care models to effectively identify people living with dementia, tailor services to meet their needs and those of their caregivers, and ensure they get the right care at the right time," said Nora Super, senior director, Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging.
Founding members of the Alliance are AARP, Alzheimer’s Association, Biogen, and The John A. Hartford Foundation.
