This bill is a memorial requesting 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 to update and integrate the best available evidence-based research on brain health into their public health education and outreach programs. The bill emphasizes the importance of increasing public awareness about Alzheimer's disease and other dementias, including their warning signs, risk reduction strategies, and the relationship between chronic diseases and cognitive decline. It also highlights the need for health care providers to be educated on validated assessment tools for early detection and diagnosis of cognitive impairment.

Additionally, the bill calls for these departments to seek federal funding and resources, particularly from the Federal Administration on Aging's Alzheimer's Disease Programs Initiative, to support their efforts in updating and integrating these educational programs. A report on the outcomes of these initiatives is to be produced and submitted to the New Mexico legislative council and the governor. The memorial aims to enhance education, awareness, and care for individuals affected by Alzheimer's disease and other dementias in New Mexico.
