Progress is officially underway! The first meeting of the Advisory Council on Parkinson\u2019s Research, Care, and Services in June marked an important step forward in the national effort to prevent, diagnose, treat, and ultimately cure Parkinson\u2019s disease and related disorders. During the inaugural meeting, Council members were introduced, including three leaders affiliated with APDA, and federal agency representatives shared updates on existing Parkinson\u2019s programs and initiatives.<\/p>\n
Council members discussed the initial work plan for the Council\u2019s annual report and national plan. Another focus of the meeting was the opportunity for the Parkinson\u2019s community to help shape the National Plan to End Parkinson\u2019s by identifying the most pressing gaps and opportunities in research, care, and services through public comment. Public comments from people living with Parkinson\u2019s, care partners, researchers, clinicians, and advocates will play a critical role in guiding the Council\u2019s recommendations for the National Plan \u2013 but act fast, the deadline to submit a public comment to inform the National Plan Strategy is August 22, 2026! The next Council meeting will take place on August 24 \u2013 you can view the meeting live at hhs.gov\/live.<\/p>\n
