Expands the Project ECHO Grant Program to include training for Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias.
The Accelerating Access to Dementia and Alzheimer’s Provider Training Act (AADAPT Act) amends the Public Health Service Act to expand the Project ECHO Grant Program. This program will now include a public or nonprofit private entity and will focus on disseminating knowledge and building capacity to address Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias. The bill aims to enhance the training of healthcare providers in dementia care.
