Legislation has been introduced in Congress to create a national plan to end Parkinson’s disease: The National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act (H.R.8585/S.4851). It will, for the first time, unite the federal government in a mission to prevent and cure Parkinson’s. This legislation has monumental potential to accelerate a cure and care for those living with Parkinson’s and their families, and we need your help to get it passed!
No one understands Parkinson’s disease like you do, and your personal story goes a long way in helping Congress prioritize preventing and curing this disease and ensuring quality care for people living with Parkinson’s.
Your members of Congress and their staff want to hear from you. They represent you, and they need to know what’s on your mind, so they know which legislation to support and what decisions to make.
