CurePSP Center of Care at Stanford
We are proud to announce the CurePSP Center of Care at Stanford University! The CurePSP Centers of Care network was formed in 2018 to connect people diagnosed with progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP), corticobasal degeneration (CBD), and multiple system atrophy (MSA), and related neurodegenerative diseases. There are 26 centers in the United States and 2 in Canada for Atypical Parkinson's Disease Research. Each Center aims to provide the best possible clinical care to support their disease management and quality of life. Medical centers have been designated a CurePSP Center of Care through eligibility criteria centered around leadership in specialized therapies and treatment options, comprehensive support services, and clinical research dedicated to PSP, CBD, and MSA.
