Parkinson Association of the Sacramento Region

The Parkinson Association of the Sacramento Region, now primarily operating as the Parkinson Association of Northern California (PANC), is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of those affected by Parkinson's disease. The organization provides essential community-based services, including over 50 support groups, educational symposia, and specialized exercise programs such as dance and singing therapy. It serves as a central resource hub for patients, families, and caregivers in the Sacramento and broader Northern California area. While the association does not engage in direct drug discovery or clinical trials, it plays a critical role in the healthcare ecosystem by facilitating patient education and advocacy.
