Advocates fight against Alzheimer’s

More than 135,000 people in Massachusetts are living with Alzheimer’s — and that number is expected to keep growing. Members of the Alzheimer’s Association dropped by for a State House lobby day. Their advocacy led to a recent landmark law in 2018 to fight the disease. One new priority: a bill to require insurers to cover testing that can help diagnose Alzheimer’s early.
