Maria Cristina Ospina, MD
Medical Network
I want to help my patients any way I can, but I know I can’t do all of the education I want to in just one visit. PMD Alliance is a great extension of me, and offers more information and resources than what I can provide in just 30 minutes. I tell my patients all the time, “Watch this PMD Alliance video and let’s talk about it next time.” I can’t be there at home at 2:00 am with them, but the better educated and the more they understand about their disease, the better my patients are going to do.

For support group leaders, PMD Alliance is a source of comprehensive and relevant PD information delivered by kind, caring, forward-thinking people. Their information is timely and unique and reflects the needs of their constituents now, making it a wonderful resource for support group leaders committed to the PD community.

Therapy Network
As a holistically minded physical therapist, I am so grateful to be affiliated with an organization that understands and embraces the importance of viewing the diversity and uniqueness of each individual with Parkinson’s Disease. PMD Alliance understands the importance of educating, nurturing, and empowering the entire Parkinson’s ecosystem in a way that promotes partnership and collaboration. Every time I attend a PMD Alliance event, I leave feeling re-energized, inspired, and connected.

PMD Alliance Ambassador
Family Network
As a care partner to my husband with Parkinson’s, PMD Alliance has provided me with the information I need to understand his condition and make informed decisions They also take care of the care partner, reminding us to be compassionate with ourselves and make ourselves a priority. If we aren’t taking care of ourselves, we won’t be able to take care of others.
