About

Established in 1990, Parkinson Society Newfoundland and Labrador supports individuals living with Parkinson’s disease, as well as their families, loved ones and caregivers. 

Parkinson Society Newfoundland and Labrador is a registered charity that is supported by donations from individuals, members, and businesses. It is governed by a voluntary Board of Directors, while daily operations are supported by the dedicated efforts of volunteers.

Everyone touched by Parkinson’s disease deserves to know that they’re not alone in their journey. We’re here to provide you with the support, information, services and programs, volunteer opportunities, and resources you need.

You are not alone. We are here to help.
