Colorado Lawmakers Plan for the Future

According to Channel 9 News in Denver, Colorado, state lawmakers there are introducing Senate Bill 58, which seeks to create an Alzheimer’s Coordinating Council to better plan for the impending increase in Alzheimer’s cases in the state.  We recently wrote about the fact that Denver is gaining in popularity among baby boomers.  That, coupled with results of a recent Johns Hopkins University study that estimates the number of Alzheimer’s patients worldwide will more than  quadruple by 2050, has moved the state legislature to act in what we see as a responsible and timely manner to address the concerns that will inevitably arise as a result of these changing demographics.
