About Us and Our Mission
Maine Parkinson Society (MEPS) is a qualified 501(c)(3) volunteer charitable organization with a mission to improve the quality of life for an estimated 9,000 Maine people affected by Parkinson's Disease (PD) [diagnosed]. This is achieved through educational programs, by providing respite care services to health care workers and caregivers who work with people with PD, and by funding other programs that work to find the cure.
What is Parkinson's Disease?
PD is a degenerative neurological disorder that affects 1 in 100 people over age 60. According to recent research, at least 1 million people in the U.S. and more than 5 million people worldwide have Parkinson's disease.

In the pictures are Maryjane Black, Charlene Batista, and Maria NeCastro all of Acadia Insurance, and Karen Marsters, president of Maine Parkinson Society. We are all fortunate to have such leaders in a company that emphasizes giving back to our communities through volunteer work and charitable contributions.
Acadia Insurance charitable contributions team is very happy to be able to donate to the Maine Parkinson Society. “We truly wish you the best.” Happy Holidays!
