New Training in Alzheimer’s Disease<\/p>\n

\n

Obama administration awards CGEC additional funds to fight Alzheimer\u2019s disease<\/b><\/p>\n

The CGEC will receive an additional funding this year targeting interdisciplinary training as part of the National Alzheimer\u2019s Project Act (NAPA). The National Plan to Address Alzheimer\u2019s Disease sets forth five goals, including the development of effective prevention and treatment approaches for Alzheimer\u2019s disease and related dementias by 2025.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jan Busby-Whitehead, Principal Investigator of the CGEC explains \u201cThe National plan is a comprehensive initiative to address the epidemic of Alzheimer\u2019s Disease and related dementias. The CGEC is very excited to help disseminate high-quality, up-to-date training and information for the health care work force here in North Carolina.\u201d<\/p>\n

Alzheimer\u2019s disease affects over 5 million Americans and that number is expected to double in the coming years. At the same time, millions of American families struggle with the physical, emotional and financial burdens of caring for a loved one with Alzheimer\u2019s disease. CGEC programming through the North Carolina AHEC system will give health care providers the latest research, diagnostic tools and psychosocial resources to help these families.<\/p>\n
