I found Jo, the staff, and the wonderful people in the support groups when I was completely overwhelmed with my husband's quickly progressing symptoms. I have been so encouraged and blessed by PRO. There is a special place in heaven for Jo and her staff.

This place is wonderful. There is so much with Parkinson's and I knew nothing. It can all be so overwhelming and they are there to help. There are many things out there that novices like me did not have a clue. I attend their zoom meetings and always learn something. Jo has so much experience and knowledge and shares what she knows for free. I think she is amazing. My dad was diagnosed with PD and his quality of life was going downhill. PRO has given us hope.

Our experience with this organization has been very positive. Tons of resources are available through them along with support groups and other channels of supports in the community. This is a non-profit organization and their fundraisers continue to raise awareness and ensure programs are free to those needing support.

This organization seems to be more about the CEO's glory than anything else. She has been at this over 30 years and it really hasn't grown, only a couple admin staff. I am not sure what they do besides hold meetings where the "CEO" (of a charity with two employees ;) bestows her personal and anecdotal science to the attendees. It is ALL about her, read the bio and info page and it's clear. She claims to be the first organization to ever provide PD sufferers support but the APDA was founded in 1961. The most I have ever seen this .org do is solicit money non-stop. They hold events that cost a fortune and no invites for people with PD unless they pay up which is not okay IMO. Also, what's with the weird stock photo used to represent the place? Anyway, I am sure some people find it useful but my husband (who has PD) and I really were less than impressed with this organization, its mission and "resources."
