ALZHEIMER’S DISEASE AND RELATED DEMENTIAS – Adds to existing law to provide legislative intent and to direct the Idaho Department of Health and Welfare to convene the Alzheimer’s disease and related dementias alliance and to annually provide a certain report.

RS30247 / S1096

Directing the Department of Health and Welfare, Division of Public Health, Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias Program, to convene the Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias (ADRD) Alliance every five years, to update the ADRD Strategic Plan for Idaho, and report to the Legislature and Governor on gaps, needs, and progress.

In August of 2021, the ADRD Steering Committee was convened with the task of providing direction for the establishment of the ADRD Alliance and writing of the Idaho State Alzheimer’s Plan. The ADRD Alliance worked for over a year on a final updated Idaho State Alzheimer’s Plan which is slated to be released during 2023.

Updating the State Plan every five years will assure that our State is continuing to improve awareness, reduce stigma and expand services for individuals living with Alzheimer's disease and other dementias and their caregivers.

Effectively implementing an updated State Plan on Alzheimer’s Disease and Related Dementias will reduce the long-term impact of the disease on state budgets, improve care and services for people living with Alzheimer’s and related dementias, and their caregivers.
