Welcome To The New Jersey Parkinson Disease Association Official Website

Hello and welcome to the NJ APDA website!

We are proud and pleased to make this site available to you. On the NJAPDA website you will find up-to-date information about Parkinson's research, news on upcoming Parkinson's related events, and contact information for support groups and movement disorder doctors. Through our website, NJ APDA becomes more accessible to patients, caregivers, donors and educators. This website is supported by the New Jersey chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association and the editorial content is managed by the APDA Information & Research Center (located at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick NJ).

Along with the launch of this site (August 2008), the NJAPDA is proud to take the lead and to announce (two) NJ APDA 2009 (the scholarship should have an identifiable name) Scholarships. The scholarships are available for (two) Garden State college-bound high school students who have a parent, grandparent, or guardian with Parkinson's. For those that are interested please visit  scholorship page.  (note where on the site description and details of the scholarship can be found) .

How else will our website assist you? You will find a schedule of events for Parkinson seminars conducted by APDA and other groups; websites for other Parkinson's related organizations and educational materials. You may also use the website to make donations online.

It is our hope that this website provides greater access to a larger audience, which will allow many to obtain information faster and increases awareness about Parkinson's disease. And with increased awareness, our aim is to have more support for Parkinson research which will lead to a cure

Help us ease the burden and help us find a cure. Please support APDA, please support the scholarship, and please support our informative website.

Sincerely,

Benton Yip, President

NJ American Parkinson Disease Association
