About American Parkinson Disease Association
The American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) was founded in 1961 to "Ease the Burden and Find the Cure" for Parkinson's Disease. It is a not-for-profit voluntary health agency committed to serving the Parkinson community through a comprehensive program of research, patient education and support. APDA's goal of promoting a better quality of life for the Parkinson's community is actualized through its network of Information and Referral Centers, which respond to the needs of people affected by Parkinson's Disease.
Based on commitment to patient education, support and community involvement, NYIT College of Osteopathic Medicine and St. Catherine of Siena Medical Center became designated APDA I&R Centers. As regional hubs of the APDA network in Nassau and Suffolk Counties, the I&R Centers in each county offer the following services:
- Up-to-date information on medical and surgical treatments for Parkinson's disease
- Educational booklets on numerous aspects of Parkinson's disease and its management
- Physician referrals
- Referrals to support groups for patients and caregivers
- Referrals and information related to clinical trials
- Referrals and information related to community resources
The APDA I&R Centers in Nassau and Suffolk Counties are designed to assist Long Islanders who are affected by Parkinson's Disease. The goal is to help them to maintain a fulfilling quality of life. In addition offering a wide variety of support groups throughout the region, the I&R Centers host educational seminars and fundraising events, including an annual Walkathon and the Paws for Parkinson's Dog Walk. These activities help to increase public awareness about the disease and raise much needed funds for scientific research to find the cure. |
