David also participated in the creation of an instructional certification course for Delay the Disease, targeting healthcare professionals. It is an evidenced-based program with detailed information on starting a community-based Parkinson s-specific exercise program, as well as a train the trainer component that instructs techniques for teaching and creating the exercise programs.

About the Director In her 30-year career as a registered nurse, Jackie Russell boasts a dedicated interest in the treatment of People with Parkinson s (PWP) and their caregivers/care-partners. Credentialed with professional achievement in perioperative nursing (CNOR) and ACLS certified, she is a graduate of The Ohio State University and has been employed in a variety of surgical nursing specialties (neurologic, orthopaedic, cardiac, and oculoplastic surgery). She is currently nursing supervisor for Michael McShane, MD/OrthopedicOne, a specialty total joint replacement practice in Columbus, OH, as well as Program Development Coordinator for OhioHealth Delay the Disease. Touched by PD when her mother-in-law battled the disease, Jackie became professionally involved in the PD community while working for Dr. Thomas Mallory, who became afflicted with PD while in orthopaedic surgical practice. Her collaborative effort to help translate and spread the Delay the Disease exercise program to all PWP is a message of hope. She has been a featured speaker with David at many Parkinson s conferences throughout the country. She functioned as an editorial assistant for Dr. Mallory in writing his memoirs, The Man Behind the Mask Journey of an Orthopaedic Surgeon, published by The University of Missouri Press in 2007. This book is an inspiring account of his life as a renowned hip replacement surgeon whose career came to an abrupt halt with the diagnosis of Parkinson s disease. His response to this diagnosis is an exemplary lesson for all. Russell authored an article in Today s Caregiver magazine in 2006, and was honored to author an article in the Summer 2008 issue of the European Parkinson s Nurses Network, a European medical journal circulated throughout the world entitled Exercise: the Positive Effects.

She shares David s enthusiasm for their newest book/DVD Functional Fitness Delay the Disease II and instructional course for healthcare professionals about creating a community-based PD exercise program. Jackie has found a special niche with the development of an instructional seminar geared to caregivers and PWP. Train the Caregiver provides methods and functional fitness techniques for the care-partner to help their loved one with a daily home PD exercise program. She also focuses on the importance of caring for the caregiver. Jackie advocates that daily exercise can empower people to face this disease with a proactive attitude, allowing them to believe I may have Parkinson s, but it does not have me. Exercise may just be the newest drug in the treatment of this disease. See more
