American Parksinson's Disease Association, Iowa Chapter

The American Parkinson Disease Association works tirelessly every day to support and empower anyone who is impacted by Parkinson’s disease (PD). Our nationwide network provides information and referral, education and support programs, health and wellness activities, and other events to facilitate a better quality of life for the PD community, while also funding vital research. It is this grassroots structure that distinguishes APDA from other organizations serving people with PD. We are here to help you and your loved ones every step of the way.

1 million people are living with Parkinson's Disease, and a new diagnosis is given every 6 minutes.  Once you are diagnosed with PD, you focus should be on improving your symptoms and maintaining an active and positive lifestyle. 
  

Founded in 1961, APDA has raised and invested more than $170 million to provide outstanding patient services and educational programs, elevate public awareness about the disease, and support research designed to unlock the mysteries of Parkinson’s disease and ultimately put an end to this disease.

Join us in the fight against Parkinson’s disease and to learn more about the support APDA provides nationally through our network of Chapters and Information and Referral (I&R) Centers, as well as our national Research Program and Centers for Advanced Research.
