This bipartisan legislation will deliver those tools and improve patients' and caregivers\u2019 quality of life and health outcomes.\u201d\n\nKlobuchar introduced the legislation, known as the Accelerating Access to Dementia & Alzheimer\u2019s Provider Training (AADAPT) Act, with Senator Shelley Moore Capito (R-WV). The legislation would support virtual continuing education to expand opportunities for Alzheimer\u2019s and dementia education and training for more primary care providers. Doing so would improve detection, diagnosis, and treatment of Alzheimer\u2019s, as well as other forms of dementia. The legislation is cosponsored by Senators Jerry Moran (R-KS), Cory Booker (D-NJ), Dan Sullivan (R-AK), Andy Kim (D-NJ), James Lankford (R-OK), and Maria Cantwell (D-WA).\n\nOver 7 million Americans are currently living with Alzheimer\u2019s, including about 100,000 in Minnesota. 85 percent of Alzheimer\u2019s diagnoses are made by primary care providers.\n\n###", 1, "2026-04-04T05:28:40Z", "2026-04-04T05:30:10Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.klobuchar.senate.gov/public/index.cfm/news-releases?ID=894D9939-B1E7-467F-8FA2-F2BBD005361A"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.6861690673977137, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
