Through the Healthy Parkinson’s Communities™ initiative, we aim to support community leaders with the resources they need to be strong community connectors, educators, and advocates. We work with our National Engagement Advisory Team (NEAT) and many other partners to specifically support wellness professionals in their pursuit of making their Parkinson’s communities healthier.
We need your help to better understand the needs of this community.
