Opened in February 2026, The Bandeen Center is New York City’s first dedicated facility for holistic Parkinson’s care. Our programming spans fitness classes—focused on building strength, improving mobility, and slowing disease progression—educational lectures, support groups, and wellness activities for both people with PD and their care partners. With a medical advisory board of practicing neurologists and a facility expanding to 9,000 square feet later this year, we’re just getting started. Here, people affected by Parkinson’s are empowered to live their fullest lives, in a community that supports them every step of the way. Visit our website to learn more or make an appointment to visit. Financial support is available for membership fees.

The Laboratory for the study of Upper Airway Dysfunction (UAD) is committed to improving clinical outcomes and quality of life in individuals with dysphagia (swallowing disorders) and dystussia (cough disorders) through research, clinical care, and education. We offer free in-person evaluations of swallowing, cough, and speech and have several active research studies of exercise-based treatments for dysphagia and dystussia.
