Chase Family Movement Disorders Receives Parkinson’s Designation

The Chase Family Movement Disorders Center, part of the Hartford HealthCare Ayer Neuroscience Institute, was added to the prestigious Parkinson’s Foundation Global Care Network in recognition of the excellent multidisciplinary care its team provides, the only one in the whole of the Northeast.

With the number of people living with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) expected to increase to 1.2 million in the United States by 2030, the Parkinson’s Foundation hopes to help with a trusted network of providers with advanced training and demonstrated success in treating this movement disorder.

The Chase Family Movement Disorders Center was one of the first facilities designated Comprehensive Care Centers by the organization, which plans to name only 15 programs globally over the next five years. A total of six facilities were awarded this recognition in the first year of this initiative. The Comprehensive Care Center designation is a complement to the Foundation’s Center of Excellence designation, awarded to 47 centers globally to highlight the highest standards of expert care and research for people with Parkinson’s disease.
