  • Alzheimer's Disease PSA - Iowa Rep. Mary Madison

    Alzheimer's Disease PSA - Iowa Rep. Mary Madison
    Jan 30 2026
    Almost seven million Americans are living with Alzheimer’s disease, and two-thirds are women. Alzheimer’s disease often starts subtly with a memory slip, lost word, or forgotten appointment. In fact, changes in the brain can happen 20 years before symptoms even appear. That’s why early detection and diagnosis are so important. For patients experiencing memory and thinking issues, there are FDA-cleared blood biomarker tests that can help detect the buildup of proteins in the brain, that can lead to the symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease. Memory and thinking issues that come with age may be slight at first and can be easily dismissed, but for some, these changes become more common and can progress over time. Early detection of Alzheimer’s disease in patients experiencing symptoms can lead to more options for planning, support, and care. Sharing details about your memory and thinking issues with your doctor can help determine if testing is right for you.

  • Osteoporosis Awareness PSA - Hawaii Rep. Lauren Matsumoto

    Osteoporosis Awareness PSA - Hawaii Rep. Lauren Matsumoto
    Nov 1 2025
    Every 20-seconds in the U.S., a woman aged 50 or older suffers a fracture. That’s about the time it takes to tie your shoes. It could be your mom, your neighbor… or even you. And it usually happens doing something common and low-impact, like bending over, lifting something heavy, or falling from standing height. It’s time to get serious about bone health. Nearly 2-million fractures happen every year and they’re often the first sign of postmenopausal osteoporosis. Spinal fractures are the most common, yet 70% go undiagnosed, because patients don’t have symptoms, or height loss and back pain are overlooked. This lack of diagnosis leads to a domino effect where patients are 5-times more likely to break another bone within a year after their first osteoporotic fracture. Talk to your healthcare provider about osteoporosis screening and treatment.
