Dear PANC Community:  It is important to share with all of you that we are recruiting for a new Executive Director. 
Former PANC Executive Director Barbara Fleck accepted a very good paying opportunity to serve as Executive Director for a local Assisted Care Facility.  This is the profession Barbara previously served before joining PANC, and there is such a need for caring and effective leadership in this field, especially during COVID and for the transition out of the pandemic.  PANC is grateful for Barbara's excellent and dedicated service and wishes her all the best in this new opportunity.  
Sincerely, Sean Tracy PANC President Board of Directors

Archival Gallery supports PANC and you can too!

Picture
​Archival Gallery, located in Sacramento, is partnering with the Parkinson’s Association to raise much needed funds.  The gallery, now in their 37th year,
is family owned and operated by Tom and D. Oldham Neath. Tom has a degenerative brain disease which has steadily progressed over the past
several years. Parkinson’s and brain disease support is important to the Archival Gallery because of Tom.  His disease has been part of their
lives for many years as they have seen him progress down this path. 
Their desire is to call attention to the importance of providing support for those with Parkinson’s and associated diseases. 

You can show your support for PANC and receive a FREE BEANIE HAT

"I am More than Parkinson's"

​Who We Are

The Parkinson Association of Northern California (PANC) is an organization dedicated to enhancing the lives of people with Parkinson's, their families and carepartners  throughout our region.
We live our motto, "Building Community for the Journey."
​

​
​What is Parkinson's disease?

​Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, neurological disease that destroys the cells in the mid brain which produce "dopamine," one of the chemicals that transmits movement control signals. When approximately 80% of these cells no longer produce dopamine, one or more of PD's primary movement symptoms begin to appear: resting tremor; slowness of movement; stiffness; and/or gait or balance problems. Other symptoms such as small cramped handwriting, lack of arm swing, and decreased facial expression may appear.  (continued click here)
Our Programs
​With assistance from a generous community of donors and volunteers,  ​we are able to provide the following benefits for our region's Parkinson's community:​
  • Connect with over 36 support groups for people with PD and their caregivers
  • Publish a quarterly journal, The Parkinson Path   
  • Present an annual education conference and tradeshow
  • Provide respite opportunities for PD caregivers
  • Offer housing safety modification opportunities through Rebuilding Together of Sacramento
  • Present ParkinsonWISE® program for exercise and wellness professionals
  • Support research for prevention and cure
  • Actively promote community awareness
