SPRINGFIELD –To provide quality care to patients with Alzheimer’s disease, legislation introduced by State Senator Ram Villivalam (D-Chicago) that adds Alzheimer’s and dementia training to the license renewal process for doctors and other healthcare providers was signed into law today.
“Diagnosing Alzheimer’s early is essential for receiving the best treatment possible," Villivalam said. "This new law will better enable healthcare professionals to identify and recommend resources for patients showing signs of dementia.”
