MEDICAL ADVISORY BOARD

Our medical Advisory Board plays a vital role in providing invaluable expertise and guidance to a Parkinson’s organization. Comprised of leading medical professionals specializing in Parkinson’s disease, this board offers evidence-based recommendations, insights, and strategic direction that are crucial for the organization’s programs and initiatives. The members of the Medical Advisory Board contribute their expertise on the latest research developments, treatment options, and best practices in managing Parkinson’s disease. Their input helps ensure that the organization’s resources, educational materials, and support services are accurate, up-to-date, and aligned with the most current standards of care. By collaborating with the Medical Advisory Board, MAPS enhances its credibility, relevance, and impact within the Parkinson’s community, ultimately improving the quality of support and information provided to individuals affected by the disease.
