Sec. 5.
Legislative purpose.
This Body finds it to be in the public
interest to promote the highest standard of medical care currently available to
people suffering from Alzheimer's disease without restricting the future
implementation of treatment options that may become available through
ongoing research. It is further in the public interest to protect consumers
from
false claims of specialized care of Alzheimer's disease.
Therefore, the General Assembly declares it to be the purpose of this Act to
require health care facilities
offering specialized care in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease to fully
inform the public regarding the facility and program of care.
