Who We Are
The Neurologic Disease Foundation (NDF) serves patients in the neurology community of Northern Virginia. We are active in the areas of patient education, and other patient support activities.
NDF is a grant-seeking organization, designed to enhance neurological health in non-professionals. Through programs NDF works to compliment patient neurological care, to support compliance with treatment plans of medical providers and to lead more fulfilling lives.
The Foundation has interests in all neurological diseases and conditions. Currently the Foundation’s programs emphasize Multiple Sclerosis and Parkinson disease.
