About Us
The Parkinson Support Center of Northern Nevada was founded in 2021, during the peak of the Covid19 pandemic, as a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing access to care, education, and social assistance to patients and families affected by Parkinson’s Disease in northern Nevada.
We are a small group of volunteers dedicated to supporting those with Parkinson’s disease, their family and community. We want to help improve lives and forge connections.
Over 5,000 people in northern Nevada live with Parkinson’s disease. The Parkinson Support Center connects patients and caregivers to resources, education, and research.
We are not affiliated with any national organization. We do, however, collaborate with all organizations—both local and national—that seek to serve people who are living with this disease.
No one has to face Parkinson’s disease alone. We’re here for you!
