April at AMDAPP: Honoring Parkinson’s Awareness & Looking Ahead - April 2025 Newsletter

Dear AMDAPP Members,
April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month, a time to elevate the voices of our patients and providers, and to recommit to advancing the care and quality of life for those living with movement disorders. I’m proud of the role AMDAPP continues to play in this space and even more excited about where we’re headed.
The first quarter of 2025 has been full of momentum! We’ve exceeded our goals across membership growth, outreach, program development, and strategic initiatives. In March, our leadership team came together for our first in-person strategic planning workshop. This dedicated time allowed us to define key priorities and map out initiatives that will help sustain and scale our impact, like expanding mentorship, launching regional CME events, and creating new leadership pathways within AMDAPP.
We’re also thrilled to share that our first round of certification wrapped successfully, with a 100% first-time pass rate. This is a major milestone and reflects the commitment of our members to provide clinical excellence.
Additionally, we’re gaining national recognition: AMDAPP has been invited by the International Parkinson and Movement Disorder Society (MDS) to present in their upcoming Affiliate Member Case Study Series. This is an exciting opportunity to showcase the unique contributions of APPs on a global stage.
Thank you for being part of this growing and energized community. Your dedication continues to fuel this movement!
With Gratitude,
Erin Zinn, MSN, APRN-CNP
Director of Operations
