Parkinson’s support group hails law requiring a federal plan for it
Kentucky Health News
The leader of a Kentucky support group for sufferers of Parkinson’s disease is hailing President Biden’s Tuesday signing of a law that requires the Department of Health and Human Services to develop, and evaluate progress on, a plan to address the disabling neurological disorder.
“Parkinson’s is the fast-growing neurological condition on the planet, and it’s still so underfunded,” Williams said. But she added that her group has spread awareness across the region.
“But you can’t sustain all of that without funding. There are so many people out there suffering that have no clue that they have Parkinson’s. Every time we turn around and think we’re gonna provide such and such, we need funding.”
