Maine Parkinson Society

The Maine Parkinson Society (MEPS) was founded in 1998 as a Maine nonprofit corporation and has qualified as a section 501© (3) charitable organization with the IRS since 1998.

MEPS is dedicated to improving the quality of life for Maine people with Parkinson’s disease. This is done through specialized programs that benefit the Maine Parkinson’s community and raise awareness of Parkinson’s disease. An estimated 7,000 individuals in Maine are affected by Parkinson’s disease.

MEPS continues to respond to the ongoing needs of the Parkinson’s community, through our collaborative efforts with the Maine Chapter of the American Parkinson Disease Association and their information & referral Center (I&R Center). The I&R Center, located on the MaineHealth Learning Resource Center in Falmouth, is jointly sponsored by MaineHealth, the American Parkinson Disease Association and Maine Parkinson Society.

MEPS is providing a much needed in-home respite care reimbursement for Parkinson’s patients and their caregivers in Maine. In conjunction with the respite care program, we are offering specialized training and education to health care workers and caregivers who work with people with Parkinson’s disease.

We will be grateful for the many generous donations we receive and appreciate any consideration you may give to our mission. MEPS is a proud member of Community Health Charities of Maine.
