Newly Diagnosed Resources

If you’ve been newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease, you’re in the right place.

The APDA Missouri Chapter is here to help you understand what to expect, learn about available resources, and get connected with trusted Parkinson’s information and community support. And if you have questions or need guidance, give us a call, we’re here for you every step of the way.

You don’t have to navigate Parkinson’s alone.

A great first step is PD Essentials, a one-hour session offered in person here in Missouri or virtual via Zoom. You can ask questions, ease concerns, and get connected to helpful local and national resources.
