The American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) is proud to partner with Smart Patients, an online community for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD) and their care partners. Founded in 1961, APDA is the largest grassroots network dedicated to fighting PD and works tirelessly to assist the more than 1 million Americans with Parkinson’s disease live life to the fullest in the face of this chronic, neurological disorder. The online peer-to-peer support of the Smart Patients Parkinson’s Disease community complements APDA’s resources, which provides outstanding patient services and educational programs, elevates public awareness about the disease, and supports research designed to unlock the mysteries of Parkinson’s disease and ultimately put an end to this disease.

About Smart Patients
We believe patients are the most underutilized resource in healthcare. We've watched patients become experts in their conditions — and we see that their knowledge improves the care they receive. With the right tools, you and other patients can do the same.
Patients often become extraordinarily knowledgeable about their disease. You can too.
