The Edmond J. Safra National Parkinson’s Wellness Initiative brought the elements of NYU Langone’s groundbreaking Parkinson’s wellness program to Boston and Washington, D.C., in 2015. This was followed in November by the awarding of grants to Chicago and Tampa for programs that will start in January 2016. The program, led by managing director and Fresco Institute program director, Amy C. Lemen, LCSW, is supported by the National Parkinson’s Foundation (NPF) and the Philanthropic Foundation.
