The APDA Connecticut Chapter works tirelessly every day to support and empower those in our community who are impacted by Parkinson’s disease (PD). We promote hope and optimism through innovative services, programs, education, and support, while also funding vital research.
We are a dedicated group of volunteers whose focus is to support the needs of over 12,000 people living with Parkinson’s disease in Connecticut. We accomplish this by working cohesively with and supporting the APDA Connecticut staff, serving as ambassadors in the community, and raising funds for support, education and research into causes, treatments, and a cure of Parkinson’s disease (PD).
