April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month. But for us and our community, raising awareness is part of our year-round mission to bring attention to a life-changing disease that is on the rise and ensuring people have access to vital resources.

This April, meet PAM, your guide to Parkinson’s Awareness Month. PAM is here to help raise awareness by addressing key Parkinson’s disease (PD) topics. Each week, PAM will share a video, essential tips and resources that provide helpful information about PD.


April is Parkinson's Awareness Month, a time to come together to raise awareness and advance research toward a cure for Parkinson’s disease. Whether you’re new to our community or a longtime supporter, together we can make a difference.
