Parkinson’s Action Network the Voice of the Parkinson's Community in Washington

The Parkinson’s Action Network (PAN) is the unified voice of the Parkinson’s community in the United States, advocating for better treatments and a cure. In partnership with other Parkinson’s organizations and a powerful grassroots network, their mission is to educate the public and government leaders on better policies for research and about issues affecting quality of life for people living with Parkinson’s.

PAN has a unique structure as the one organization in Washington, DC advocating on behalf of the entire Parkinson’s community. Research and innovation, access to care and medications, and data collection on Parkinson’s disease are among its many projects.

About my guests: Michael J. Church, Executive Director, Movers & Shakers, Naples, Florida, and Adrienne O’Neill, M.Div., South Carolina, are both living with the daily challenges of Parkinson’s disease diagnosis, but neither has time for feeling sorry for themselves, instead, they are actively working as their state’s representative to PAN. The issues that fuel their passions, the current activities of the national organization, and opportunities for your involvement, will be the subject of our discussion. “Advocacy is a year round activity undertaken with boldness and commitment to something bigger than ourselves.” Michael J. Church, Fl. State Director.
