With Kremer at the helm, the LEAD Coalition has more than doubled in size while contributing to development of the National Plan to Address Alzheimer’s Disease, securing historic increases in funding for dementia research at the National Institutes of Health, and working with the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services, the Food & Drug Administration and the Centers for Disease Control & Prevention to implement bold new programs to improve detection and diagnosis of cognitive impairment. Currently, Kremer is working with national and international organizations designing the future of dementia care practice, a blueprint for dementia care policy, protocols for early detection and diagnosis of cognitive impairment, and strategic initiatives to accelerate the global research enterprise.
