PPMI is a longitudinal study which assesses evolving biomarkers to measure the progression of Parkinson's Disease over time. The data gathered has helped the medical community to uncover critical developments that have ultimately changed and improved treatments available for the disease. As we continue our mission in medical innovation related to movement disorders, we thank all those who have made our progress possible. If you are interested in making a difference, we are still enrolling for PPMI! Contact Donna at 813-396-0630 to determine if you qualify.
