About us
An association growing to reach more people
Our journey began in 2014, when Genoveva Ortiz Díaz founded the Parkinson Mar Menor Association (APAMM) to support people with Parkinson’s disease in the Mar Menor region and their relatives.
In 2026 we broadened our scope and became the Parkinson Mar Menor and Other Neurodegenerative Diseases Association (APAMMEN).
Our area of activity includes San Javier, Santiago de la Ribera, San Pedro del Pinatar, Lo Pagán, Los Alcázares and Torre-Pacheco.
