U.S. Senate Unanimously Passes Bipartisan, First-Ever National Plan to End Parkinson's Act
May 23, 2024, 09:07 PM
The U.S. Senate has unanimously passed the National Plan to End Parkinson's Act, a bipartisan bill aimed at addressing Parkinson's disease and related conditions. The legislation, championed by several members of Congress including Senator Chuck Schumer, Representative Jennifer Wexton, Representative Paul Tonko, and Senator Shelley Moore Capito, directs the Department of Health and Human Services to establish a National Parkinson’s Project. This project, named after Dr. Emmanuel Bilirakis and Honorable Jennifer Wexton, will create and update a national plan to combat Parkinson’s disease, which affects over a million Americans, including Schumer's own mother. The bill, which also addresses related diseases like PSP, is the first-ever legislation solely devoted to ending Parkinson’s disease. It now heads to the White House for approval.
