Thank you to State Representative Missy McGee for taking the time to meet with our community at Alzheimer’s Advocacy Day at the State Capitol. Pictured with disentangleAD Advisory Council member Julia Starrett, we appreciate your passion for understanding and advocating for those living with Alzheimer’s disease and their caregivers.

Thanks so much to Julia Graham Starrett, Administrative Research Coordinator for The Memory Center at Hattiesburg Clinic for visiting us at Mississippi State Capitol today for Alzheimer’s Advocacy Day.

Alzheimers is a terrible disease and is very personal to me. I’m pleased that the Mississippi House of Representatives passed HB 565 which requires insurance coverage of biomarker testing for the purpose of diagnosing and treating a variety of diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease.

Thanks again to Julia for the visit and for updating me on the latest research and treatments they are doing at Hattiesburg Clinic and elsewhere. I feel optimistic that we are gaining on this disease.
