Milken Institute Announces New Alliance To Improve Dementia Care

The Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging announced the launch of the Alliance to Improve Dementia Care. The Alliance will seek to transform and improve the complex health and long-term care systems that people at risk for and living with dementia must navigate.

During the next 20 years, the Milken Institute projects that the number of Americans living with Alzheimer's disease or other dementias will nearly double to 13 million. Two-thirds of all people living with dementia will be women. Further, the Institute projects the direct and indirect costs of dementia will reach nearly $380 . . .
