In January 1984, the Governor created the Task
Force on Alzheimer's Disease and Related Disor-
ders to recommend how the State might help
victims of the disease and their families.
The Task Force will collect data on disease
incidence, prevalence, and geographic distribution
and recommend ways to increase the availability of
such data. It will examine services available for
people suffering from this disease and related
disorders, and for their families, and recommend
services, support systems, and funding mechanisms
to alleviate needs.
For health professionals, the Task Force is to
promote and provide educational programs on
diagnosis, resource management, and documenta-
tion of Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
It will develop a statewide network of health
professionals with special interest and expertise in
the diagnosis and care of those afflicted. This
network will be a counseling resource for those
who provide care and other services. In addition,
the Task Force is to provide public education and
encourage research in the causes and treatment of
Alzheimer's disease and related disorders.
By July 1, 1985, the Task Force is to report to
the Governor and General Assembly.
