The Michigan Parkinson Foundation (MPF) ) is dedicated to people living with Parkinson's disease. 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.

More than 10 million people worldwide are living with Parkinson's disease. You are not alone in your journey. We invite you to connect with us.

What is Parkinson's disease (PD)?

It is a type of movement disorder. It happens when the brain does not produce enough of a brain chemical called dopamine. It is sometimes genetic, but in most cases it does not run in families.
