For the past 14 years Linda O’Connor has been the Coordinator. “I feel incredibly privileged to work closely with the APDA LA Chapter because I truly believe that without their presence in the community, and without the caring and compassion of their members, people Living with PD would be struggling alone to find support.” The purpose of the Center is to be a hub for services to anyone diagnosed with PD and comm unity outreach to increase awareness and understanding of PD in greater Los Angeles.
