President Biden Signed the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act into Law
On July 2, President Biden signed the National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act into law. This is the first-ever federal legislation dedicated to ending Parkinson’s disease (PD).
Top five ways this monumental bill can make an impact:
- Dramatically increase federal research funding
- Develop more effective pathways for treatments and cures
- Improve early diagnosis
- Spark new and improved models for patient care
- Address health disparities in diagnosis, treatment and clinical trial participation
Now that the bill has been signed into law, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) will establish the National Parkinson’s Project, a first-ever federal initiative to prevent and cure Parkinson’s disease, treat its symptoms and slow or stop its progression. It will also establish a federal advisory council that will provide recommendations and guidance for making progress against Parkinson’s disease and atypical parkinsonisms.
