Cure Alzheimer’s Fund co-founder Henry McCance has been invited to join the Alzheimer’s Study Group (ASG). The private, non-partisan group will be working hard through this year to form a national strategy to deal effectively with the growing tragedy of Alzheimer’s disease.

Co-chaired by former Speaker of the House and Founder of the Center for Health Transformation Newt Gingrich and former Senator and President of the New School, Bob Kerrey, the ASG is composed of a panel of notables who have committed to develop an Alzheimer’s action plan for the nation by the summer of 2008.
