Story Behind the Curve

House Bill 175—Cultural Outreach Campaigns for Alzheimer's Disease was presented for consideration in the 2022 Legislative Session. The ask was for $400,000 from the Kiki Saavedra Senior Dignity Fund to improve outreach campaigns in native american tribal communities. The legislation was not passed.

What Works

Re-establishment of partnerships continues to be developed by the OADC, and additional information on the website should be developed and added during the next reporting period.
