Advocacy Raising the voice of the Parkinson’s community The mission Parkinson Canada is the national voice for all people impacted by Parkinson’s in Canada. We are dedicated to creating a world where no one is limited by Parkinson’s, and we work with all levels of government to move closer to this vision. We amplify the voices of people living with Parkinson’s and their care partners to advance solutions for better access to care, stronger supports, and an improved quality of life. Through direct engagement with policymakers and collaboration with community partners, we raise awareness of the impact of Parkinson’s and push for meaningful change. What we do We advocate for policy changes that matter most to the Parkinson’s community, including: Access to timely and quality health care Increased investment in research Financial and disability supports that reflect real needs Our priorities come directly from what we hear from community members. By sharing these stories and concerns with government, we show policymakers the reality of Parkinson’s and encourage them to act.
