Welcome to the Utah Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association

"To ease the burden, to find the cure"

The Utah Chapter of the APDA and the UHC Parkinson's Disease Information and Referral Center work very closely together. Our common goals are:

to support research to find a cure for Parkinson's disease

to ease the burden of living with Parkinson's disease, and

to provide those with Parkinson's disease the tools to maximize their quality of life.

Living well with Parkinson's disease requires more than the right prescription medication or surgery. Our primary purpose is to empower those with Parkinson's with the information and resources they need to take advantage of available health care options.

"All for one and one for all."
