We have created the concept of Centers of Excellence wherein we fund institutions that combine bench and clinical research as well as physical, speech, and occupational therapies. We presently have 52 Centers of Excellence. http://www.parkinson.org/centers.htm Maybe Joan Samuelson knows the up-to-date answer... Regards ,............. murray [log in to unmask]
