Our Mission Statement | What We Offer | Where We're Going

Our Mission Statement:

The Orange County Chapter of The American Parkinson Disease Association will provide education and support for Parkinson’s patients and their caregivers in our local community. We will ensure that the Parkinson’s patient has the tools and information to make optimal decisions about their care and enable them to enjoy the best possible quality of life. We will strive to expand our membership and volunteer base in order to provide financial support to our national organization for research to “ease the burden, find the cure” for Parkinson’s Disease.

What we offer:

The Orange County Chapter of The American Parkinson Disease Association operates as an integral part of our national organization. We are your local resource for information, events, support and fundraising. In conjunction with APDA Information and Referral Centers, we sponsor regional symposiums, fundraising events and conferences. Our signature fundraising event is the “Run The Beach”, annual Long Beach Marathon held every October. Our website, www.apdaoc.org, is a pathway to valuable information and links to other sites of interest to PD patients and care givers.

Where we’re going:

Our current focus is aimed at expanding our volunteer base, both on the Board of Directors and the fundraising team. If you or someone you care about has Parkinson’s disease or if you would just like to be involved with “easing the burden” and “finding the cure” your personal commitment of time, energy and money can make a significant difference. APDAOC is forming working partnerships with other like organizations such as Young Onset Parkinson Disease (YOPD), Team Parkinsons and the Los Angeles Chapter of APDA.
