Over 300 Alzheimer’s advocates and supporters will descend upon Georgia’s Capital in Atlanta on Monday, February 13.  GA Alzheimer’s Awareness Day

Some of the key issues on Alzheimer’s Awareness Day will be:

• To maintain the $225,000 for Alzheimer’s respite services: This money provides critical support to caregivers, and gives the State an alternative to more costly long-term care.  In past years, the Governor proposed to cut this funding.  This year, he did not—but we want to ensure that as they deliberate the budget, neither the House nor the Senate propose cutting the funding.
• For Support of the Physicians Order for Life Sustaining Treatment:   This legislation was passed in 2010.  The Department of Public Health is currently drafting the form and regulations.  Potentially, there may need to be legislation to protect medical providers who honor the form from civil or criminal liability.
