More than 12 years ago, Mark Schroder, then a board member of Tri-State Parkinsons & Wellness (TPW), a predecessor to Parkinsons Support & Wellness (PSW), asked me to join the board of directors of TPW. Mark knew that my late father had Parkinsons so he expected I would be interested in working with TPW. As TPW has evolved into PSW, I have had a wonderful and rewarding experience serving on these boards.
