Veterans with Parkinson’s Community Network
There are more than 110,000 veterans navigating Parkinson's disease (PD) in the U.S. Building on the partnership between the Parkinson's Foundation and the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), this Community Network harnesses the strength and shared experience of the veteran community.
This is a space for those who have served to connect, support each other, and ensure every veteran knows about the specialized resources and care available to them.
Network Mission
The Veterans with Parkinson’s Community Network is dedicated to serving those who have served. We mobilize the unique perspectives of veterans to educate and empower our community, ensuring seamless access to the vital resources offered by the Parkinson's Foundation and the VA, including Parkinson’s Disease Research, Education, and Clinical Centers (PADRECCs). Our goal is to build a network of support that honors service and improves the well-being of every veteran living with Parkinson’s.
