Grant Overview

Educational Resource Needs for Parkinson’s Disease in North Dakota

In North Dakota, Parkinson’s disease (PD) poses significant challenges to both patients and their families. With a growing elderly population that currently sees about 5,000 residents diagnosed with PD, the need for comprehensive educational resources becomes critical. Many families are often left navigating the complexities of the disease without adequate information or guidance on managing symptoms and seeking proper care.

Who Will Benefit from Community Resource Centers?

The proposed funding will establish community resource centers targeting both PD patients and their families. These centers will provide access to workshops, informational resources, and support groups. Eligibility extends to all residents within North Dakota who are impacted by Parkinson’s, including patients, caregivers, and families. The centers aim to equip these individuals with knowledge and resources to improve daily life and health management.

Application Requirements for Establishing Centers

Organizations or institutions applying for the grant must outline their plan for the center, including location, staffing, and engagement strategies. A detailed budget should accompany the application, indicating how funds will be allocated for resources. Additionally, the applicants must showcase their capacity to reach and support local communities effectively, emphasizing their experience with PD or similar chronic health challenges.

Enhancing Knowledge for Better Outcomes

Establishing community resource centers in North Dakota will enhance families' understanding of Parkinson’s disease, diffusing information about symptom management and available treatments. This grant aims to foster a connected support network that can empower families to address the challenges associated with PD proactively. Improved knowledge will lead to better management of the disease and a higher quality of life for both patients and caregivers.

By focusing on education and resources, North Dakota’s initiative positions itself to transform the landscape of Parkinson’s disease care and management. Through community engagement and information dissemination, this program will cultivate a more informed, supportive ecosystem around Parkinson’s disease.
