PARKINSON RESEARCH FOUNDATION Announces Director of Patient Programs, Services and Advocacy
As a neuroscience nurse educator, Tait plays a vital role in the continuum of care for Parkinson's patients. Her medical background enables her to help patients and caregivers navigate the numerous resources available, while her personal experiences and observations enable her to fill in the gaps of patients' and caregivers' social and emotional needs. She also shares her knowledge with medical providers to help educate them about the unique needs of patients and caregivers.
Parkinson's disease does not mean a patient's life is over, emphasizes Tait. "You've got to move. Parkinson's disease slows down everything - your thinking, your mobility, your lifestyle - but you've got to drive it forward. And they do - my patients, I'm just so proud of them. They do phenomenal with the belief through constant reinforcement that you have Parkinson’s, Parkinson’s does not have you." “We are honored to work with Ms. Tait in our ongoing commitment to promote quality of life for patients and their caregivers through education, support, wellness programs, and advocacy. That includes research to determine what medications and therapies work best,” said Larry Hoffheimer, PRF Chairman.
The Parkinson Research Foundation is a nonprofit health organization providing Parkinson's disease research, information, education and advocacy. The mission of PRF is to help cure Parkinson's disease and to improve the lives of all people affected by the disease. To fulfill this mission, the Parkinson Research Foundation funds research, publishes scientific findings, and provides funding for information and other services to people with Parkinson's disease, their families, caregivers, health care professionals and the public. PRF is also actively involved in advocating for scientific research and for the rights of people with Parkinson's disease.
