The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Alzheimer’s Association released The National Public Health Road Map to Maintaining Cognitive Health at the International Conference on the Prevention of Dementia in Washington, DC on June 10, 2007. The Road Map lays out a shared vision for a work in progress, one that builds on the foundation of the work done to date, establishes a framework within which to view the findings of that work, links related and complementary activities, and shapes the work of the future.
