National Alzheimer's Strategic Plan

The ASG's core mission is to develop a high-level, National Alzheimer's Strategic Plan.

This plan is to be a "national call to action" to improve care today and speed the development of more effective treatments for tomorrow. It will do so by focusing all appropriate public and private stakeholders on finding new solutions to treat and care for patients, and to better support their caregivers.

The ASG will develop this plan in consultation with a broad community of the country's leading experts on Alzheimer's and related fields including basic science, translational research, public health, clinical care, and caregiving. The ASG will use innovative web-based technologies to collaborate and communicate with these experts in developing the National Alzheimer's Strategic Plan. During this process, patients, caregivers, advocates, and the public will also be engaged.

Experts, together with the broader community of interested individuals, will have the opportunity to identify barriers, metrics, existing strategies and new initiatives targeting each of the ASG's stated goals.
