Advancing Research Priorities with Public Policy

Dear Friend, 

Today, The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) and the Parkinson's Action Network (PAN) officially become one organization. PAN's advocacy and policy work has transitioned to MJFF, and we welcome Ted Thompson, former president and CEO of PAN, to the Foundation as senior vice president of public policy.

Through a unified research and policy effort we can advance government initiatives that accelerate the search for a cure and make treatments more accessible for those living with the disease today. Explore resources related to federal funding for Parkinson's research, streamlined drug development and access to health care services at michaeljfox.org/policy. 

We'll send email updates about important Parkinson's policy initiatives and information on how you can contact your elected officials to make your voice heard. You can manage your personal email preferences at any time using the link below.  

We look forward to working with our community to advocate for better treatments and a cure. Together we can move the needle on policies that benefit patients, families and caregivers. 

Sincerely, 

Todd Sherer 

CEO, The Michael J. Fox Foundation
