The National Parkinson Foundation is committed to working with providers to change the way care is delivered to families affected by Parkinson's disease.

Through its signature program, Allied Team Training for Parkinson (ATTP), allied health professionals, physicians, and physician assistants across the country are learning about Parkinson's disease and doing so in a dynamic team-based approach with other professionals.
