NEW YORK, July 6, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ --The mission of the American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) is to provide the support, education, and research to help everyone impacted by Parkinson's disease (PD) live life to the fullest. However, it is challenging to meet this goal when everyone impacted by PD doesn't speak the same language, or have access to reliable wifi, or live near medical specialists, etc. Therefore, it is part of APDA's current three-year strategic plan to expand its reach to under-served, under-studied, and under-represented communities in order to promote health equality and access to care and provide much-needed education and support. Just one step in this direction is the launch of two newly transcreated resources, the APDA Parkinson's Disease Handbook, and the APDA Medical ID Card , both of which are now available in Simplified Chinese. They can be downloaded for free from the APDA website or free hard copies can be mailed to your home.

The past two years have been a struggle for everyone, but even more so for those who were already facing the challenges of life with PD, especially those in underserved, under-resourced, and rural communities. To keep the PD community supported, connected, and safe, APDA created extensive virtual programming to make sure that people living with PD had what they needed throughout the pandemic -- from online exercise programs to help keep people moving when they couldn't get to their in-person fitness classes, to educational webinars where they could ask PD experts their questions right from their own living rooms. APDA also expanded their Spanish-language resources, including new booklets and fact sheets, educational webinars, a Spanish version of APDA Symptom Tracker app (and more) to help Spanish-speaking people with PD greatly increase their ability to access care and advocate for themselves. APDA has been there for the PD community every step of the way. Many of the virtual programs continue, with in-person events and activities resuming at APDA Chapters and APDA Information & Referral Centers across the country as well.
