A full-fledged public health response is needed to improve outcomes in communities disproportionately impacted by Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

The new Healthy Brain Initiative (HBI) State and Local Public Health Partnerships to Address Dementia: The 2018-2023 Road Map has a central goal of reducing disparities among underserved populations.
