Welcome to The Parkinson's & Movement Disorder Foundation (PMDF)
"By working together, we can improve the quality of care for every person diagnosed with Parkinson's disease."
Since 1998, our mission has been to support basic and clinical research into the causes, treatments, and cures for Parkinson's disease and other movement disorders such as dystonia, myoclonus, spasticity, and tremor.
The mission of the Parkinson's & Movement Disorder Foundation is not only to pursue the cure for Parkinson's but also to provide assistance to the people who live with the disease.
We achieve our mission through programs of awareness, education, advocacy and care.
The PMDF is a nonprofit organization chartered in the state of California.
Our office is located at
18430 Brookhurst Street, Suite 202 P, Fountain Valley, California 92708.
The Foundation is made up of neurologists, scientists, patients, and volunteers from the community.
