Parkinson Mentors Arizona
Mentorship....a bridge to empowerment
Parkinson Mentors Arizona is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization committed to supporting and empowering individuals with Parkinson's Disease.
At Parkinson Mentors Arizona, our mission is to provide peer support to people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's disease, and individuals with established Parkinson's, so that each person feels supported and empowered.
We understand that every individual's journey with Parkinson's disease is unique. Our peer mentors travel the road of PD with strength, advocacy, positivity, and persistence. We offer local community resources and guidance to help you achieve understanding and feel supported.
Thank you, Jen for talking to all the attendees about PMAZ at the Movement Disorders Foundation of Arizona event on June 7th.
