More than 6.7 million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s, and the local Alzheimer’s Association says there are an estimated 400,000 Texans living with the disease.

“Texas is the state with the fourth highest total of people living with Alzheimer’s and dementia, based on our population and based on our makeup. And so this disease disproportionately affects Texans at a rate higher than most states,” Sciuto said.“This year, with help from our advocates at the association and our partner organizations, the Texas Legislature approved $5.5 million in funding for the Alzheimer’s disease program in the state of Texas,” he said.

That is a 550% increase in funding that will provide information and resources on care and support options, and early detection.“I mean, it still puts us a little bit behind states like Florida, which invest $44 million annually and Georgia, which invested $8.3 million annually, but a huge step forward for Texans that are living with this disease,” Sciuto said.
