Abstract
The first statewide meeting in Florida of scientific investigators of seniledementia and Alzheimer's disease was held at Mount Sinai Medical Centerin Miami Beach under the auspices of Governor Bob Graham. A study group of prominent researchers identified opportunities for establishing astatewide network to exchange research efforts and findings among institutions in Florida.The scientific investigators addressed four primary areas: epidemiology,diagnosis and characteristics, treatment, and the establishment of a statewide network. A set of recommendations was made to the Governor and theFlorida Committee on Aging on areas for future state involvement.Major recommendations include the development of a statewide information system containing a patient and resource registry, a scholarship program for certain specialists needed to conduct dementia research, educational programs on dementing illnesses for physicians and the generalpublic, the establishment of a statewide advisory committee, and a determination of the magnitude of the problem in Florida by epidemiologicalstudies.
