The Parkinson’s Awareness Training program meets the educational goals in Section 4b4 of the New Jersey Parkinson’s Disease Public Awareness and Education Act (A-2576.).
The statute, signed into New Jersey state law in December 2014, was driven by APDA’s New Jersey Chapter and called specifically for the development of an educational program to educate and empower first responders to not only know the signs and symptoms to look for, but also to know how to best treat and care for people living with Parkinson’s disease.
