Care

Care. It’s at the heart of everything Parent Project Muscular Dystrophy does. We strive to ensure that people living with Duchenne are living longer, stronger lives, by helping you access expert healthcare providers, a comprehensive team of sub-specialists, and cutting edge treatments.

In this section, the PPMD team has consulted experts and compiled critical information to arm you with the tools you need to receive optimal care. Whether you are the person living with Duchenne, a care provider, a Duchenne carrier, or a clinician, explore the effects of Duchenne by area and the progression of the disease by age and stage. Knowledge is power in the fight to end Duchenne.
