American Parkinson Disease Association, Rhode Island Chapter

Strength in optimism. Hope in progress. The Chapter is an all volunteer organization.

We seek to educate those interested in learning more about Parkinson's disease, to assist support groups throughout the State, to help develop programs to meet the needs of Parkinson's patients and their caregivers and to raise funds to find the cure. While a few of us can accomplish some of these goals, most of them require the support and involvement of people like you.
