Thank you @SenCapito and Senate colleagues for your leadership and taking this important step towards ending #ParkinsonsDisease
The Senate just passed my National Plan to End Parkinson’s Act! This is the first-ever legislation solely devoted to ending Parkinson’s disease.   Parkinson’s disease is the second most common neurological disease globally and I’ve heard many stories from WVians who have felt its impact. Once law, this will help move us towards new treatments and finally finding a cure. More details here ⬇️ capito.senate.gov/news/press…
