National VA PD Consortium Network Referral List

The National VA Parkinson's Disease Consortium was established in 2003 as a means to broaden the impact of the Parkinson's Disease Research, Education and Clinical Centers (PADRECCs) and encourage modern Parkinson's disease care across the collective VA Healthcare System. Together, the PADRECCs and the Consortium Centers create a hub and spoke model of care, allowing effective and convenient services to all veterans, regardless of locality. Veterans who cannot access direct services at a PADRECC facility can receive specialized care at the closest Consortium Center in their region.

To Make an Appointment at a Consortium Center:

1.Locate the Consortium Center of greatest convenience to the veteran using the map and corresponding referral list below (You may click on the stars below for more information on the Consortium Center's VA Medical Center).

2.Complete an interfacility consult (specifying location of the Consortium Center and physician’s name) and forward to your local patient transfer office. If the Consortium Center is outside of your VA Network, contact your patient transfer office for further directions.

3.Ask the patient to contact the Consortium Center within 72 hours to obtain an appointment.

4.Assistance is available by contacting Jackie Lumford, Consortium Program Support Administrator, at 1-800-949-1001 x2749.
