Where we live and serve
The Capital Region community action committee (CAC) is in Albany, New York and includes the surrounding counties of Albany County, Rensselaer County, Schenectady County, Saratoga County, and Glens Falls.
About our CAC
We currently have 5 members, and the Albany area has an impressive breadth of programs and resources for Parkinson’s. From Movement Disorder Specialists (MDS), Dance, Boxing, Yoga, Spin, Parkinson’s (PD) Self, etc. Albany offers it all. The opportunity is to bring more resources like those available in Albany to the outlying areas.
Our “Why?”
Currently, our community experiences a lack of…
- Programs and services accessible throughout the larger community, particularly outside of the main Albany area
- Limited Parkinson’s specialists such as Movement Disease Specialists and Neurologists
Our Healthy Parkinson’s Community Vision
- Increase awareness of existing resources and services, and expand to other less resourced community areas
- Increase knowledge of Parkinson’s in the general community
