We are excited to share our partnerships with rural libraries across Missouri to increase access to Parkinson disease education through
Parkinson Disease Library Kits.
Rural communities often lack access to specialized information and support in managing Parkinson’s disease. The Parkinson Disease Library Kits were developed to bridge this gap and empower rural residents with the knowledge and community resources to live well. In rural areas, libraries are vital resources that serve as a trusted location to increase access to health information.
The partnerships with rural Missouri libraries serve as a significant step for increasing access to specialty education and community resources for people living with Parkinson’s disease. Each kit offers educational resources, helpful handbooks, and ways to connect further to community resources and support.
