The Foundation is pleased to announce the upcoming expansion of the Global Care Network this Fall. Beginning September 1, 2025, we will welcome a Letter of Intent (LOI) from U.S.-based centers interested in joining our Network. The submission window will remain open through September 30, 2025. For this call, we will prioritize centers in areas where the Parkinson’s Foundation does not have a presence (more than 150 miles from a current center) to expand our geographic reach. Centers selected to advance in the application process will be notified in writing by November 30, 2025. A live link to submit a LOI will be available on our webpage on September 1st.
