$122,308 i11 fiscal year 2025-26 and $127 1855 in fiscal year 2026-27 for one Health Program Manager position. The 
department has indicated that this position is needed to implement the Alzheimees Disease·and Related Dementias

establish the Healthy Brain Initiatives Council program and allow for receipts from other fi.mding sources 1111d 
expenditures.
