Summary
This month marks Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, with a major push for early detection through insurance-covered biomarker testing—aiming to spot the disease before symptoms hit. Advocates are calling it the “mammogram moment for Alzheimer’s,” urging national action to improve quality of life and accelerate research. With over 129,000 seniors in Tennessee already living with Alzheimer’s—and that number expected to double in 35 years—the urgency is clear. Tiffani Johnson, whose mother died from early-onset Alzheimer’s, is leading the charge, turning personal loss into powerful advocacy. For families navigating this crisis, help is available—and you can join the fight by participating in events like the Walk to End Alzheimer’s.
