Welcome to the New Jersey American Parkinson Disease Association Official 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 specialists. 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 & Referral Center (located at Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital, New Brunswick NJ).

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

Warm Regards,

Benton Yip, President
