Alzheimer's: Every Minute Counts is an urgent wake-up call about the national threat posed by Alzheimer's disease.

This will not only be a profound human tragedy, but an overwhelming economic one as well. Due to the length of time people live with the illness and need care, it's the most expensive medical condition in the U.S. Future costs for Alzheimer's threaten to bankrupt Medicare, Medicaid, and the life savings of millions of Americans.
