The Alliance for Longevity Initiatives
The Alliance for Longevity Initiatives is the first and only 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization founded with the goal of creating social and political action around the issues of combating age-related chronic conditions and increasing our number of healthy, disease-free years. Scientists are developing new longevity medicines that aim to treat serious diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease and dementia, diabetes, cancer, and others, by addressing the underlying biological causes of aging. These new therapies have the potential to improve health outcomes, increase the healthy human lifespan, reduce Medicare and Medicaid spending, and generate trillions of dollars in economic growth. A4LI works with healthcare leaders and experts in the geroscience and longevity medicine fields to ensure the initiatives we pursue are the right steps to accomplish A4LI's mission. Ultimately, we would like to see governments around the world prioritize keeping their citizens in excellent health for much longer.
