AshaUSA's m​ission is to provide culturally specific programs to the South Asian community t​​o foster health and harmony in their lives. Formed in July, 2014 in Minnesota, AshaUSA (Asha means hope) is a non-profit organization focused on engaging and empowering South Asian women, men, and children through culturally specific programs and services. Over 3.4 million South Asians (originally from India, Pakistan, Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka) live in the United States out of which about 44,000 live in Minnesota (2010 census). 75% of South Asian Minnesotans are first generation immigrants. The South Asian population in Minnesota has more than doubled since 2000. With the increase in population, challenges associated with acculturation in terms of health, youth development, and family relationships have become more distinct. There is a need for culturally specific programs that proactively address acculturation challenges for the South Asian community in Minnesota. ​

Our Mission is to work so that no one is isolated because of Parkinson’s disease. Parkinson’s Resource Organization (PRO) is dedicated to improving quality of life for families and individuals affected by Parkinson’s disease through education, support, and practical resources. PRO was established in 1990 by caregivers who were overwhelmed and struggling to find the support network they needed. So they decided to create one. What started as Children of Parkinson's morphed into Parkinson's Resource Organization and today we continue to maximize quality of life for people with Parkinson's, their families, and caregivers through education, resources, and person-to-person support. PRO works to improve quality of life for everyone impacted by Parkinson’s. We do this through emotional and practical resources, support groups, educational materials, and access to a network of professionals who can provide guidance and assistance. Additionally, we advocate for the needs and rights of caregivers and patients, ensuring they receive the necessary care and resources. Caregivers play a crucial role in the management and support of Parkinson's patients. PRO acknowledges their efforts and aims to equip them with the tools and knowledge required to provide effective care. Through continuous outreach and dedicated services, we strives to create a supportive community where caregivers and patients can find the help and companionship they need.
