There is still the Parkinson Information and Referral Center located at 5 Bucknam Road in Falmouth where Maine Parkinson Society meets and uses.

MEPS is dedicated to improving the quality of life for Maine people with Parkinson’s disease. This is done through specialized programs that benefit the Maine Parkinson’s community and raise awareness of Parkinson’s disease. An estimated 7,000 individuals in Maine are affected by Parkinson’s disease.

MEPS continues to respond to the ongoing needs of the Parkinson’s community, through our collaborative efforts with the Maine Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association and their information & referral Center (I&R Center).

MEPS is providing a much needed in-home respite care reimbursement for Parkinson’s patients and their caregivers in Maine. In conjunction with the respite care program, we are offering specialized training and education to health care workers and caregivers who work with people with Parkinson’s disease.

We will be grateful for the many generous donations we receive and appreciate any consideration you may give to our mission. MEPS is a proud member of Community Health Charities of Maine.
