MDH; direct to incorporate brain health, Alzheimer's disease and dementia education into existing public health programs.
SB 2753 would require Mississippi's Department of Health to add plain-language information about brain health, dementia risk reduction, and Alzheimer's disease into existing public health outreach programs. It targets high-risk populations and mandates that these programs cover early warning signs, prevention, and the link between dementia and chronic health conditions. The bill also directs health care provider training on validated assessment tools, Medicare billing for cognitive care, and early detection protocols. However, the bill "died in committee" on March 4, 2025, and has not become law.
