ALBANY, N.Y. — Today, New York State Senator Michelle Hinchey unveiled legislation (S7874/A9938) to establish the country’s first statewide Frontotemporal Degeneration (FTD) Research Registry. The registry would help educate doctors on FTD — among the most common and yet little-understood forms of dementia — provide insight into the number of FTD diagnoses across New York, and create a public database of services and available resources for individuals and their loved ones facing an FTD diagnosis. Hinchey’s bill serves as a nationwide model for other states, driving the fight for greater awareness within the medical community and society at large and, ultimately, to find a cure.
