Outreach Programs

NPF's national outreach program, the National Parkinson Care Network (NPCN) is recognized as one of the most successful and expansive programs launched in the United States to provide health care information to under-served communities. To date, through a strong partnership with the Medtronic Foundation, NPCN has reached over 3 million people in medically under-served communities. The program seeks to educate community health care providers and consumers about Parkinson's disease by disseminating consumer empowerment materials such as multi-lingual brochures, participating in community education and media events and conducting training programs for health care providers.
