Dear Friends of the Parkinson’s Action Network,As we reflect on the past year, we are struck at how often the concept of the “unified voice” has come to define our success around many different issues affecting the Parkinson’s community.
The Parkinson’s Action Network (PAN) is a nonprofit organization working on behalf of people living with Parkinson’s disease, their families, their caregivers, as well as the thousands of grassroots advocates across the country. PAN also represents national Parkinson’s organi-zations including The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research, the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation, The Parkinson Alliance, the National Parkinson Foundation, and the Davis Phinney Foundation. As their representative in Washington, DC, PAN makes decisions with the support of those groups every time it takes a position on an issue or advocates on behalf of the Parkinson’s community.
In 2013, that unified voice was able to formally endorse telemedicine legislation, convince the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs to expand benefits for veterans with traumatic brain injury and parkinsonism, urge Congress to increase funding for the National Institutes of Health, and save the Department of Defense Parkinson’s research program when the Army attempted to redirect fiscal year 2012 and 2013 funds.
We also used our strength as a unified voice by representing the Parkinson’s community in a class action suit against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to remove Medicare’s unfair improvement standard measurement for Parkinson’s and other degenerative diseases.
These examples are just some of the ways that PAN’s unified voice works for you each and every day. Last year was a year of many successes, but our work is not done. As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, PAN relies solely on donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations to fund our work and we could not do any of the work we do without that generous support.
With continued support from our donors, PAN will remain the strong, unified voice that works daily to bring us closer to better treatments and a cure for Parkinson’s disease. The 500,000 to 1.5 million people living with the disease deserve no less from us.
Thank you for your support of PAN, and we encourage you to join us in fighting for people with Parkinson’s disease and their loved ones.
Sincerely,
Ronald H. GalowichCHAIR, BOARD OF DIRECTORS

ADVOCATE ISRAEL ROBLEDO TEXAS STATE DIRECTOR, MIDLAND, TX
I am proud to be part of PAN’s unified voice because the focus of the organization is on the Parkinson’s community and the work that we do as advocates is for the benefit of us all. The opportunities that I have to share help me to get a personal message across that I, along with many others, benefit from
research funding, eliminating Medicare ther-apy caps, access to telemedicine, and other important policy issues. With PAN’s unified voice, there is no doubt as to the message and why we advocate throughout the year. Establishing working relationships with my Members of Congress gives me a chance to speak for myself and on behalf of others, and allows me to get my message across about how certain policies affect the Parkinson’s community. My Congressman has said that any time there is a Parkinson’s-related issue on the House floor, he thinks of my Parkin-son’s journey and personal story. I am proud to be part of PAN’s unified voice because it is well respected and effective.
DONOR ROBIN KATSAROS CALIFORNIA ASSISTANT STATE DIRECTOR, LOS ALTOS HILLS, CA
I am proud to be part of PAN’s unified voice because, as a donor, I want to make sure my hard earned money is used judiciously and efficiently. PAN has consistently shown it is conscientious with monies received from
donors by allocating their budget directly to the people, programs, and initiatives that further advocacy for those in the Parkinson’s community. Since my husband’s diagnosis in 2008, our giving budget is devoted exclusively to Parkinson’s organizations and only those that are transparent and run efficiently. I am proud to report that we have always been pleased not only with the breadth of what PAN achieves with their limited funds, but also the depth at which they accomplish their focused objectives. We are proud and hon-ored to be part of their giving community.

HEALTH POLICY LEADER ELEANOR (ELLIE) DEHONEY VICE PRESIDENT OF POLICY AND ADVOCACY, RESEARCH!AMERICA,
ALEXANDRIA, VA
I am proud to be part of PAN’s unified voice because the cause is so very important and PAN’s advocacy is truly making a dif-ference. PAN’s partnership is invaluable to Research!America, the organization for which I work, as we advocate for federal policies critical to accelerating medical progress. There are many reasons why PAN is an exemplary advocacy organization. I have joined mem-
bers of its grassroots network in Hill meetings, and they are knowledgeable and compelling. I believe they changed the hearts and minds of the individuals we met. As a long-time Hill staffer, I know that “getting through” can be a challenge, but these committed advocates accomplished it. PAN leadership clearly under-stands the power of its grassroots network and rightly treats it as PAN’s most valuable asset. PAN is both innovative and high energy. It keeps the drumbeat going. In the cur-rent budget/political environment, success depends on staying on the frontlines. That’s where PAN is. Finally, I am proud to be associ-ated with PAN because of its leadership and staff, who are incredibly dedicated to Parkin-son’s disease—preventing it, treating it, curing it. If anyone can make it happen, it’s PAN.
PARKINSON’S LEADER TODD SHERER, PH.D. CEO, THE MICHAEL J. FOX FOUNDATION FOR PARKINSON’S RESEARCH,
NEW YORK, NY
I am proud to be part of PAN’s unified voice because I see the optimism and hope that patients have in our continued search for better treatments and a cure for Parkinson’s disease. Through The Michael J. Fox Founda-tion for Parkinson’s Research (MJFF) and as a
PAN board member, I see how federal policies and budget priorities translate to scientific breakthroughs and better options for health and care. Our Foundation is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson’s disease through an aggressively funded research agenda, but we cannot do it alone. It is absolutely critical that our federal government make research funding a top priority to discover new routes to novel treatments and to usher therapies through the long and laborious development pipeline to pharmacy shelves. PAN helps ensure the Parkinson’s community is repre-sented in discussions over those dollars, and I am proud to lend the MJFF voice to that effort.
PARKINSON’S ACTION NETWORK 2013 ANNUAL REPORT4
Thank You Advocates! PAN advocates educate and raise aware-ness about PAN’s mission in their commu-nities. They are truly the heart of PAN’s advocacy work and we could not do our work without them.
PAN currently has thousands of advocates of all levels, including 144 grassroots leaders serving as State Directors, Assistant State Directors, or District Delegates.

PARKINSON’S LEADER CAROL WALTON CEO, THE PARKINSON ALLIANCE, KINGSTON, NJ
I am proud to be part of PAN’s unified voice because it was at a PAN Public Policy Forum that I started my professional career advocat-ing for Parkinson’s disease research. After my father was diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease in the early 1980s, I found it difficult to find good resources for him. My search led me to
become a PAN advocate and I am proud to say I was part of the group that urged Congress to pass the Morris K. Udall Parkin-son’s Research Act in 1997. It was also at a PAN Forum that I was approached by PAN advo-cates, Margaret and Martin Tuchman, to run their foundation and then start a new organization, The Parkinson Alliance. As the chief executive officer of The Parkinson Alliance, I am steadfast in my dedication to the work PAN does, and as a PAN board member, I wholeheartedly support and appreciate the role public policy and advoca-cy plays in ensuring we get closer to better treatments and a cure for Parkinson’s disease.
PARKINSON’S ACTION NETWORK 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 5
PAN’S WORK in 2013
Public policy matters to the Parkinson’s community. In fact, the federal government, through the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Department of Defense (DoD), funds mil-lions in Parkinson’s research each year.
In addition, PAN works hard to ensure that government agencies like the Food and Drug
Administration (FDA) receive the funding they needs to bring safe and effective new Parkin-son’s disease drugs or devices to patients.
PAN also works on issues that affect access to quality care, including ensuring programs and pieces of legislation like Medicare and tele-health are working for people with Parkinson’s.
PAN’S SUCCESSES
Advancing Public PolicyThrough direct advocacy from PAN staff and the tireless work of our grassroots network, PAN is able to make a difference in shaping policies that impact the Parkinson’s community and secure funding for major federal programs.
SUCCESSES IN FEDERAL FUNDING & RESEARCH• PAN successfully advocated for a $1 billion
increase in funding, after sequestration, for fiscal year (FY) 2014 for NIH. NIH is the world’s largest funder of biomedical re-search and one institute in particular—the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke—plays a critical role in facilitat-ing research for Parkinson’s disease.
• PAN successfully advocated for $16 million for the DoD Parkinson’s research program, which fully restored the funding lost in se-questration, and $2.55 billion for FY 2014 at the FDA, a $91 million increase over FY 2013 spending before sequestration.
• PAN saved $32 million of DoD Parkinson’s research funding by fighting off attempts by the Army to redirect FY 2012 and FY 2013 funds. Researchers who were meant to receive those funds contacted PAN to intervene on their behalf. These researchers, an important partner in the unified voice of PAN, were able to receive their funding and continue their critical work.

Advancing Public Policy Educating the Public Leading & Collaborating
PARKINSON’S ACTION NETWORK 2013 ANNUAL REPORT6
• The Coalition for the Advancement of Med-ical Research (CAMR), led by Amy Comstock Rick, celebrated a victory when the Supreme Court decided not to hear a case (Sherley v. Sebelius) that attempted to stop federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research. People with Parkinson’s could benefit greatly from embryonic stem cell research through potential therapies and to gain greater understanding of the disease.
SUCCESSES WITH IMPROVING ACCESS TO CARE• PAN and the Center for Medicare Advocacy
settled a class action lawsuit (Jimmo v. Sebe-lius) brought against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to remove Medicare’s improvement standard policy for Parkinson’s and other degenerative diseas-es. The improvement standard required that a person show improvement in order to continue coverage for skilled care. For peo-ple with Parkinson’s and other degenerative diseases, higher function is an important and valuable outcome of skilled care, and therapy services are used for maintenance and to prevent worsening function. In the lawsuit, the Center for Medicare Advocacy
and Vermont Legal Aid represented PAN, the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, the Paralyzed Veterans of America, the Alzhei-mer’s Association, the National Committee to Preserve Social Security and Medicare, and four Medicare patients. Once again, a unified voice made a difference.
• PAN took on telehealth as a policy priority and formally endorsed the Veterans E-Health & Telemedicine Support (VETS) Act of 2013 and the TELEmedicine for MEDicare (TELE-MED) Act of 2013. For the Parkinson’s community, telehealth has the potential to be a power-fully valuable service in terms of improving quality of life and better management of symptoms by increasing access to specialists.
• PAN joined several other Parkinson’s disease and telehealth organizations to host the 2013 Merinoff Symposium on how telehealth could be leveraged to deliver high quality care to people with Parkinson’s. Sponsored by The Feinstein Institute for Medical Re-search in Garden City, NY, the symposium convened more than two hundred people from the medical, scientific, technology, advocacy, and patient communities.
PAN Board Member Greg Wasson, J.D. and Laurie Sanders, Ph.D. speak on a 2013 PAN Forum panel.
PARKINSON’S ACTION NETWORK 2013 ANNUAL REPORT 7
• Thanks to PAN advocacy efforts, the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs expanded benefits for veterans with traumatic brain injury and parkinsonism. There are about 80,000 veterans with Parkinson’s disease.
• PAN became a leader on Medicare therapy caps in the patient advocacy community by successfully advocating for an extension of the exceptions process in 2013 and pushing for a permanent repeal of the therapy caps. Without the exceptions process, therapy services are capped at $1,920. For example, the cap would limit a person with Parkin-son’s to about 14 to 15 hour-long physical
therapy visits. Unfortunately, people with Parkinson’s disease often reach their limit within the first few months of a year and they are then forced to pay out of pocket or go without those services.
• PAN worked with the FDA to ensure neurol-ogists were included in a review of Northera (droxidopa), a drug to treat neurogenic or-thostatic hypotension in Parkinson’s disease, which was approved in February 2014. Prior to PAN’s advocacy work, the panel would not have included people with specific expertise on how this drug would impact people with Parkinson’s.
Educating the PublicPAN leadership, staff, and grassroots advocates play a critical role in educating the public and policymakers about Parkinson’s disease as well as the important role the federal government plays in patient-support programs and funding biomedical research.
In addition to holding regular meetings with Members of Congress and their staff in Wash-ington, DC and in their states and districts, PAN staff and volunteers:
• Attend local town hall meetings;
• Speak at community, regional, and national conferences and events;
• Speak to Parkinson’s disease support groups throughout the country;
• Serve as a resource to national and local media;
• Promote policies through social media, let-ters to the editor, and opinion editorials; and
• Lead a Parkinson’s-focused television series on “Comcast Newsmakers” that airs on CNN’s Headline News.
SUCCESSES IN EDUCATING THE PUBLIC• PAN educated the community on the
Affordable Care Act and its impact on the Parkinson’s community by creating a new section of the website. The new section was among the most visited pages on the website in 2013.
• PAN created a weekly newsletter to communicate the latest policy, advocacy action items, and news to our network. The newsletter is sent to our entire email list each Friday.
