This bill is a memorial that requests the New Mexico Department of Health and the Aging and Long-Term Services Department to collaborate with the New Mexico chapter of the Alzheimer's Association and other relevant entities. The goal is to utilize the best available evidence-based research on brain health to update and integrate this information into the departments' public health education and outreach programs, as well as their health care provider education initiatives. Additionally, the departments are urged to seek federal funding and resources to support these efforts through the Federal Administration on Aging's Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative and other available federal programs.

Furthermore, the memorial emphasizes the importance of educating health care providers about the risk factors, early detection, and diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. It highlights the need for validated assessment tools during Medicare annual wellness visits and the understanding of care planning billing codes for cognitive impairment. The bill also calls for a report on the outcomes of these integration efforts to be produced and submitted to the New Mexico legislative council and the governor, ensuring that the state's response to Alzheimer's disease is informed by the latest research and adequately supported by federal resources.
