Early-Onset Community Network
A Parkinson’s disease (PD) diagnosis at a younger age comes with many challenges, often impacting family, career, and financial planning in distinct ways. This network is a dedicated space for those diagnosed before the age of 50 to connect with peers who truly understand their journey. Members can share their experience, provide valuable insight, and serve as a guide to others navigating the realities of early-onset Parkinson’s.
Network Mission
The Early-Onset Community Network raises awareness of and champions the unique needs of the early-onset community. The network turns shared experience into action, ensuring that the challenges of a younger diagnosis are met with targeted resources and a powerful, collective voice.
