Idaho Statutes Title 39. Health and Safety § 39-2701. Alzheimer's disease and related dementias

Current as of January 01, 2024 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(1) The legislature, having recognized that Alzheimer's disease and related dementias (ADRD) are a looming state and national public health crisis and having found that it is in the best interest of the state and its citizenry to develop a statewide strategy to mobilize a coordinated state response, finds that it is in the best interest of the state and its citizenry to continue the work of the Alzheimer's disease and related dementias alliance (ADRD alliance) in developing, implementing, amending, and updating the Idaho Alzheimer's disease and related dementias strategic plan.

(2) The Idaho department of health and welfare, division of public health, Alzheimer's disease and related dementias program, is directed to:

(a) Convene the ADRD alliance every five (5) years to update the Alzheimer's disease and related dementias strategic plan for Idaho. The department shall serve as the focal point in convening the ADRD alliance and shall provide oversight in developing comprehensive, coordinated strategies that address the current and future impact of Alzheimer's disease, an examination of existing resources available to persons living with Alzheimer's disease and their caregivers, and information regarding Alzheimer's disease trends and policies in the state; and

(b) Annually provide a report to the governor and the legislature that shall include, at a minimum, recommendations for state policy relating to ADRD, a review of services, public safety issues for those living with ADRD and their caregivers, public education, and services initiated and coordinated among public and private agencies to meet the needs of Idahoans with ADRD and their caregivers.
