National Parkinson Foundation

Education For Patients

NPF Helpline

NPF is pleased to announce the launch of 1-800-4PD-INFO (473-4636), our newest initiative to provide information (in English and Spanish) to people with Parkinson's disease, their families, friends and healthcare providers. Services available include up-to-date information about the disease in general, emotional support, and referrals to health professionals and community resources. For more information, visit our Helpline page: www.parkinson.org/helpline.

NPF Resources

NPF maintains a wide range of free consumer educational resources to help people with Parkinson's and their caregivers to actively manage the disease and become their own effective health advocates. Materials are distributed to thousands of patients and caregivers through our Centers of Excellence and Care Centers, as well as our local chapters. Educational resources provided by NPF are available in a variety of formats, from online versions of brochures and booklets, to archived webcasts of live conference events, and videos of Parkinson’s disease experts explaining topics important to know.

Publications

NPF continues to offer print copies of our popular ‘Rainbow Books’, the widely respected nine-volume Parkinson's education series focused on issues critical to patients. Patients, families and professionals alike consider these books essential for education about PD, ranging from introductory information to more in-depth material that can be kept and reread many times over.
In addition to NPF's newsletter, the Parkinson Report, NPF offers an extensive seven-volume Spanish-language series and brochures in eight languages. Our newest publication is titled ’10 Early Warning Signs of Parkinson’s Disease’ and reviews ten signs that may mean someone has early stage PD and should talk to their doctor. All print booklets, brochures and newsletters are free of charge and may be requested by calling 1-800-4PD-INFO.
