Where we live and serve
The Massachusetts community action committee (CAC) spans the entire state of Massachusetts.
About our CAC
We currently have three members from across the state. We intend to engage with several colleges and hospitals in the area to increase awareness about Parkinson’s and reach the newly diagnosed with resources to support them early in their Parkinson’s journey. We are currently in the process of creating a helpline staffed by people with Parkinson’s to provide educational and informational support for newly diagnosed individuals.
Our “Why?”
Currently, our community experiences a lack of…
- Collaboration and communication between existing Parkinson’s resources, or adjacent services such as hospitals
- Regional and state-wide collaboration between all key Parkinson’s stakeholders
Our Healthy Parkinson’s Community Vision
- Increase awareness and connection to existing Parkinson’s resources and services
- Increase awareness around Parkinson’s in the greater community
