Our founder, Meredith DeFranco, PT, DPT moved to Tampa the summer of 2019 after working at the Norman Fixel Institute for Neurologic Diseases at the University of Florida for nearly a decade.
She learned from the best in the Parkinson field, including Dr. Michael Okun. She has a deep understanding of what PD patients need to thrive, including a community for support and resources.
Seeing a need, we formed Parkinsonlife, a 501c3 nonprofit organization to provide direct resources and services for the PD community of the Bay Area.
