FREE Aware in Care kit by the National Parkinson Foundation

Did you know that three out of four people with Parkinson’s disease do not receive their medications on time when staying in the hospital? People with Parkinson’s visit hospitals more often, and, combined with the great importance of the timing and dosing of Parkinson’s medications, face greater risks in the hospital.
This is why the National Parkinson Foundation (NPF) has launched the Aware in Care program, which aims to help people with Parkinson’s disease get the best care possible during a hospital stay.
To protect, prepare and empower people with Parkinson’s before, during and after a hospital visit, NPF has developed a free Aware in Care kit with tools and information to share with hospital staff during a planned or emergency hospital stay.
The kit is large enough to fit your Parkinson’s medications to take with you on your next trip to the hospital.
Each Aware in Care kit includes:
  • Parkinson’s disease ID bracelet
  • Hospital action plan
  • Medical alert card
  • Medication form
  • Pd fact sheet
  • “I Have Parkinson’s” reminder slips
  • Thank you card
  • Magnet
Aware in Care kits can be requested free of charge from by calling the NPF Helpline,
1-800-4PD-INFO (473-4636)
Please visit www.awareincare.org for more information.

What’s in the Kit?

Each Aware in Care kit is filled with useful tools and information to help a person with Parkinson’s during the next hospital visit. Each kit includes:
