Southern California Parkinson's Organizations
Stanford Parkinson's Community Outreach and Stanford APDA Information & Referral Center, based at Stanford University Medical Center in Northern California, do not cover Southern California (or any other US region) as part of our information/resource efforts. As we get a lot of phone calls from Southern California, we have created this short webpage of Parkinson's Disease resources in Southern California.
