Today, the Senate approved the 21st Century Cures Act with a 94-5 vote. It will now head to the president's desk to be signed into law. 

The Parkinson's community played a large role in the bill's passage and advocated for provisions such as a national neurological disease data collection system. Our sincere thanks to everyone who responded to an action alert and contacted their elected officials to make their voice heard. Collectively, you sent 5,200 emails and letters to lawmakers this week alone!

The Foundation will share more information on the bill and its significance for the Parkinson's community in the coming days. Stay tuned to our blog and social media channels for further updates.
