Mission & Purpose

Mission Statement

The World Parkinson Coalition Inc. is a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing an international forum for the latest scientific discoveries, medical practices and caregiver initiatives related to Parkinson's disease. By bringing physicians, scientists, allied health professionals, caregivers and people with Parkinson's disease together, we hope to create a worldwide dialogue that will help expedite the discovery of a cure and best treatment practices for this devastating disease.

Purpose

To ensure that this mission is achieved, the WPC will make every effort to engage and draw upon resources from the domestic and international PD communities to create a venue for discussing and learning about:

• basic scientific research that is helping to advance our understanding of the origins and development of the disease itself
• translational and clinical science that will help slow the progression of the disease and ease its impact on those with Parkinson's
• models of care delivery that can assure the best possible quality of life for people with Parkinson's, their families and caregivers
• national and international approaches to curing Parkinson's -- including government, professional societies and voluntary associations representing patients and families -- that can help build a sustained worldwide effort to better understand, combat and ultimately conquer Parkinson's disease

The official language of the Congress is English. World Parkinson Congresses are open to citizens of ALL countries.
