The American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) is a national nonprofit organization that coordinates a nationwide, grassroots network focused on Parkinson's disease. It serves the approximately one million Americans living with PD by offering patient services, educational programs, and public awareness efforts, while supporting research through a national program and dedicated Centers for Advanced Research. Founded in 1961 and based in Staten Island, New York, APDA connects people affected by PD with Chapters and Information & Referral Centers to access resources and guidance. APDA's work spans patient support, education, awareness, and collaborative research across its network and research initiatives. In April 2026, APDA announced the appointment of three leaders to its National Board of Directors, signaling governance updates for its leadership.
