PD Organizations in the US
Slide 4 of 29
PD Organizations in the US –
Not only is the health system fragmented, but the PD community is also.
We have multiple organizations with a history of varying degrees of cooperation.
Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF)
National Parkinson’s Foundation (NPF)
American Parkinson’s Disease Assn. (APDA)
Michael J. Fox Foundation (formerly Parkinson’s Action Network)
State and Independent organizations
I am pleased a merger agreement has been reached between PDF and NPF to be called the Parkinson’s Foundation. Prospects for consolidation have never been greater.
