U.S. Postal Service to issue Alzheimer's disease awareness stamp
The Alzheimer's Association and the Alzheimer's Impact Movement applaud the U.S. Postal Service for accepting the request of Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) and Elijah Cummings (D-Md.) to issue a new stamp to promote Alzheimer's awareness and support research on the disease. The issuance of the Alzheimer's Disease Semipostal Stamp will raise critical public awareness about the disease and aid the National Institutes of Health (NIH) in its efforts to increase Alzheimer's research funding to the appropriate level to cure or effectively treat the disease by 2025.
