Since 2004, the Davis Phinney Foundation has offered educational programs designed to help people live well with Parkinson’s. Over the years, we have learned, without a doubt, that the community connections we’ve made because of our programs are what create lasting change. That is why we launched our Healthy Parkinson’s Communities™ initiative: to reach and help more people with Parkinson’s live well by engaging community leaders who share our mission.
Get involved! Browse our programs to learn how you can get involved through local initiatives, apply for community grants, or become an ambassador. We need people like you to ensure all people with Parkinson’s have access to critical and life-changing resources.
The movement is growing
Communities across the US and Canada have started the initiative in their areas.
