Here is more (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) from the Alzheimer’s 協会:


 

Austin, Texas (June 1, 2023) - Alzheimer’s 病気 is the most expensive 病気 in America. The 増大するing Alzheimer’s 疫病/流行性の has 深遠な 関わりあい/含蓄s on individuals 同様に as 明言する/公表する and 連邦の 政府s. Texas 階級s fourth in the number of Alzheimer’s 事例/患者s and second in the number of Alzheimer’s deaths in the 部隊d 明言する/公表するs. 立法議員s during this, the 88th, 開会/開廷/会期 論証するd their かかわり合い to 強化する Texas’s 返答 to the serious public health 危機 of Alzheimer’s 病気. 非常に/多数の 法案s 焦点(を合わせる)d on dementia were considered during the 明言する/公表する 法律を制定する 開会/開廷/会期. The Alzheimer’s 協会 支持する/優勝者d for and is thrilled to 発表する the passing of three historic 前進するs in the fight to end Alzheimer’s.

The 2024-2025 明言する/公表する 予算 passed with a 550% 増加するd 投資 to $5.5 million over the biennium for the Texas Department of 明言する/公表する Health Services’ Alzheimer’s 病気 Program. The Alzheimer’s 病気 Program (ADP) 供給するs (警察などへの)密告,告訴(状) and 資源s to 改善する care and support and encourage 早期に (犯罪,病気などの)発見 and diagnosis for persons with the 病気 and their caregivers. With these 付加 and necessary 基金s 支持する/優勝者d by Chairman Giovanni Capriglione, the ADP will have the capacity to 供給する 教育の 資源s for 内科医s and healthcare professional about the value of 早期に (犯罪,病気などの)発見 and 正確な diagnosis; 増加する public education about brain health and dementia 危険 削減, and; impleme nt the Texas 明言する/公表する 計画(する) on Alzheimer’s. By comparison, Florida 投資するs $44.1 million 毎年 in 類似の programs, while Georgia 投資するs $8.3 million.

“Alzheimer’s is a 3倍になる 脅し — with no way to 妨げる, 扱う/治療する, or cure the 病気,” says Melissa Sanchez, Texas Public 政策 Director for the Alzheimer’s 協会. “Until we find a cure for this 破滅的な 病気, 投資するing in support for those living with the 病気 and their caregivers must remain a 優先 in our 明言する/公表する.”

In 新規加入 to the historic 増加する in 基金ing, two dementia pelatihan 法案s were passed into 法律, 要求するing dementia pelatihan for 警官s and for 補助装置d-living 施設 従業員s. H.B. 568 by 代表者/国会議員 Rhetta Bowers (SB 443 by 上院議員 Jos? Menendez), 確実にするs 警官s are trained on how to interact with persons with dementia.

More than 40% of those in 居住の care 施設s, such as 補助装置d living 施設s, have Alzheimer’s or another dementia.

With the passage of HB 1673, Texas 論証するs the importance of proper pelatihan for direct-care providers to 改善する 質 of care. I would like to thank the Alzheimer’s 協会, our 上院 Sponsor Nathan Johnson, and all stakeholders who worked on HB 1673 for all their work to get this 法案 to the 知事’s desk.”

You have to feel the 苦痛 and hope to get to the other 味方する. And so that's what I'm going to do. 

I feel like I 港/避難所't been giving 110% like I 努力する/競う to do every day here at the 駅/配置する. Um, I'm not giving 110% to my wife and my child. My daughter. And they deserve 150% from me every day. So I will be taking time to 焦点(を合わせる) on myself and to 焦点(を合わせる) on them and hope to return stronger. 

I'm making this 決定/判定勝ち(する) with the 十分な support of my bosses here at KHOU, who have been 極端に supportive and had my 支援する from the moment my mom became ill and continue to have my 支援する today."
