Michigan Parkinson Foundation (MPF)

Mission: To educate and provide direct patient support to people affected by Parkinson’s disease and related movement disorders, their loved ones and care partners as well as the physicians and other allied health professionals who diagnose and treat those individuals with the disease.

The Michigan Parkinson Foundation (MPF) is dedicated to people living with Parkinson’s. We are an independent non-profit 501 c(3) charitable corporation that was founded in 1983. We are funded primarily by private contributions, memorials and grants. Guided by a volunteer Board of Directors and Professional Advisory Board, MPF staff and volunteers, along with partner organizations, provide services and resources to enhance the quality of life for people with Parkinson’s and their families throughout the state. You and the estimated 30,000 people in Michigan with Parkinson’s are not alone in your journey. We invite you to connect with us.

The Michigan Parkinson Foundation offers patient education programs for the newly diagnosed, sponsors more than 76 support groups throughout ALL OF MICHIGAN, provides financial assistance for Parkinson medications and respite care (both in-home and out-home facilities). We provide direct patient services, financial support, patient education and counseling to people with Parkinson disease and their family.
