The World Parkinson’s Program has active chapters in 22 countries, 39 locations, globally led by community volunteers, qualified neurologists/healthcare providers, caregivers or people with Parkinson’s. The World Parkinson’s Program supports global chapter leaders by providing guidelines on how to start a chapter, arranging lectures about Parkinson’s disease, providing educational brochures on various aspects of Parkinson’s disease in the local languages, and referring chapter leads to our Services team if there is a local need.
A WPP Global Chapter can be started by community volunteers, healthcare workers, healthcare institutions, passionate students, or those impacted by Parkinson’s disease. You can hold a Chapter meeting anywhere in your community, including but not limited to: restaurants, schools, churches, temples, mosques, community centers, libraries or local parks.
