financial impact of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias and to 
improve the health outcomes of people with these conditions. The

Alzheimer's disease. On an annual basis, the Advisory Council evaluates 
the implementation of the recommendations through an updated national 
plan.
    The Advisory Council consists of at least 25 members. Twelve

Administration, Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and the

Council. After receiving nominations the Secretary, with input from her
