Amneal Announces $2 Million Donation to Support Patient Access to Essential Medicines During Parkinson's Awareness Month
BRIDGEWATER, N.J., April 07, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Amneal Pharmaceuticals, Inc. ("Amneal" or the "Company") (NASDAQ:AMRX) today announced donations totaling $2 million to multiple patient assistance foundations supporting individuals living with Parkinson's disease (PD) in recognition of Parkinson's Awareness Month. These contributions reflect Amneal's ongoing commitment to expanding access to essential medicines and supporting patient care, education, and advocacy for the Parkinson's community.
Every six minutes, someone in the United States is diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, underscoring the growing impact of a condition that affects more than 10 million people worldwide. As the disease progresses, patients and their care partners often face increasing physical, emotional, and financial challenges. Amneal's donations will support programs that help eligible patients manage out-of-pocket costs, including copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles for FDA-approved Parkinson's medications.
"Parkinson's disease has a profound and far-reaching impact on patients, families, and care partners," said Chirag Patel and Chintu Patel, Co-Chief Executive Officers of Amneal. "At Amneal, expanding access to essential medicines is core to our purpose. Over the past two years, we have donated $3.5 million to support patients living with Parkinson's disease, and we remain committed to working alongside the community to help improve access to treatment, education, and support for those navigating this condition."
In addition to its support for advocacy organizations and patient assistance foundations, Amneal is committed to elevating the quality of life of people with Parkinson's disease and their care partners. By sharing authentic community perspectives, participating in advocacy events nationwide, and offering educational resources, including materials for Spanish-speaking audiences, Amneal aims to help foster connection, awareness, and support across the Parkinson's community.
Amneal encourages individuals and organizations to join in recognizing Parkinson's Awareness Month by supporting advocacy, raising awareness, and helping improve access to essential medicines and resources for the Parkinson's community.
