Cork
The Cork branch represents people living with Parkinson’s Disease in Cork city and county.
Our ultimate ambition is to drive better care, treatments and quality of life for everyone affected by Parkinson’s by developing a network of local support groups and campaigning for community-based Parkinson’s nurses.
