re: mr. miller's timely, muscular pitch for unity among our various organizations: it's not the whole answer to his question, certainly, but the people at the Parkinson's Disease Foundation (based in New York ) and the United Parkinson Foundation (based in Chicago) are delighted to announce that the final signatures are on the final merger documents and the merger proposal is on the desks of the authorities in New York and Illinois. It was two years in the making but we're relieved ... and excited about the implications of the deal for PDF's effectiveness and contributions to our field. next step, I hope: continuing, and improved, collaboration among the remaining organizations. More energy, better coordinated and more wisely directed, for what APDA rightly calls the "cure and the care:" support of the best research, the best education and advocacy, the best support of people with Parkinson's and their families. robin elliott, exec direector, parkinson's disease foundation
