Welcome!

As the grassroots organization for Parkinson's disease, the South Florida Chapter of APDA (Chapter) and its Information & Referral Center (I&R Center) are committed to providing services, programs and activities for people with Parkinson’s disease and their Caregivers. Together, the Chapter and I & R Center "ease the burden" of Parkinson's disease by helping fund and organize numerous local programs and support groups that offer a network of qualified professionals, tangible resources, and a circle of friends who share similar needs. This local network forms the basis of the grassroots campaign to help overcome the unique challenges of living with Parkinson’s disease.
