The National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act is becoming federal law! Join a special live broadcast on June 17 at 12:00 pm — Big Step for Parkinson’s: Q&A About the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act, hosted by the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) to learn what this new law really means.

The National Plan to End Parkinson’s is is the first-ever federal legislation dedicated to curing and preventing Parkinson’s disease (PD) and striving for quality care for those impacted by this chronic and progressive neurologic disease.
