We are excited to announce that the Washington Parkinson Disease Registry (WPDR) will begin operations in May 2007. The idea of a State-wide database of individuals with Parkinson disease interested in research studies has existed for some time. It wasn’t until the collaborative efforts and financial support from the Washington Chapter of the APDA, Northwest Collaborative Care, Northwest Parkinson’s Foundation, and the University of Washington Department of Neurology that this exciting resource for the Parkinson community came to fruition.
If you, or someone you know has Parkinson’s disease in the State of Washington please contact the Registry as noted below and do your part! There’s no excuse. It can be as simple as a short phone call to get enrolled.
