Farewell and Gratitude

Honoring Parkinson’s Network North and Welcoming
Michigan Parkinson Foundation

Parkinson’s Network North extends heartfelt thanks to all those who over the 42 fulfilling years of PNN’s mission in Northwest Lower Michigan have given generously of their time and treasure to keep the mission going. Your unwavering commitment has fostered an environment of compassion, understanding, and practical support. The friendships that have formed within this community are truly cherished, and we are grateful for the bonds that have enriched our lives

We remember with gratitude our beloved mentors Maxine Meach and Hettie Molvang. Their dedication was an inspiration to us all.

As we look to the future, it is time to pass the baton to the Michigan Parkinson Foundation. We are confident that this esteemed organization will continue to serve our local Parkinson’s community with the same devotion and excellence, carrying forward the legacy established by Parkinson’s Network North. We wish Michigan Parkinson Foundation great success as they embark on this important role, and we know the community will be in capable and caring hands for years to come.

Thank you once again to the many volunteers, donors, and the entire PNN community for your remarkable service and for the friendships we hold dear.

In Their Words

The shared stories of fellow Parkinsonians and their care partners through the Parkinson’s Network North Support Group and the excellent clinical information provided by the Group have made a significant contribution to our understanding of the disease and how to cope with it.
