Young Onset Parkinson Resource Center "The Parkinsons Disease Association of San Diego has been invaluable for me as a young Parkinsonian in terms of its wide array of free services. As a recent DBS patient, PDASD had put me in touch with other DBS patients who have shared details of their recovery which has been priceless. I am proud to say that I support this group of dedicated, passionate professionals." - Randy W.
