For Patients & Care Partners
The Club — Patient Handout
A friendly one-pager for the person living with Parkinson's. Explains what The Club is, how it helps between appointments, and how to join for free.
Most people living with Parkinson's don't hear about a good support community from their doctor. They stumble across one in a Facebook group, at 2 a.m., after a bad week. That's a gap we can close together.
These two handouts exist so anyone — a patient, a care partner, a movement-disorder specialist, a support-group leader — can put The Club in front of someone who needs it, in a form the doctor's office will actually keep on the counter.
The MD-Office Explainer (For Neurologists, MDS, PTs, Speech Therapists)
This is the handout you leave with a clinician. It's written for busy movement-disorder specialists, general neurologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and social workers who work with people newly diagnosed with Parkinson's.
- Explains what The Club is in under 30 seconds of reading
- Answers the first question every clinician asks — "Is this safe to refer to?"
- Shows what patients get between appointments (daily check-ins, peer mentors, live events, expert content)
- Includes a QR code so patients can join right from the exam room
- Free and printable — bulk-print a stack for your reception desk

The Patient Handout (For Newly Diagnosed & Care Partners)
This is the handout you leave for a patient. It's written in plain language, in a warm tone, without medical jargon. Clinicians can print a stack for the exam room. Patients can print one to give to a friend or family member who's just been diagnosed.
- Speaks directly to the person with Parkinson's — not about them
- Explains why an active community matters more than a monthly meeting
- Highlights that The Club is free — no cost, no upsell
- Includes care-partner-specific language so family members feel included
- QR code + short URL for the easiest possible join flow

How Members Are Actually Using These
Real members from The Club have told us they use these handouts in ways we didn't anticipate:
- Bringing the MD-Office Explainer to their next appointment and asking their neurologist to stock a stack
- Emailing the PDF to their movement-disorder specialist's nurse or care coordinator
- Printing the Patient Handout to leave at their local pharmacy where PD meds are picked up
- Handing the Patient Handout to a friend who was just diagnosed, so the friend has something warm and concrete to hold
- Sharing both PDFs with their support-group leader before a meeting
For Parkinson's Support-Group Leaders
If you run a Parkinson's support group — online or in person — these handouts are a way to give members something to take home between meetings. A printed one-pager still gets read in a way a link often doesn't.
You're welcome to print in bulk. If your group would like The Club to speak at a meeting, or if you'd like your group listed inside The Club's map of local resources, get in touch.

For Clinicians & MDS Offices
If you're a movement-disorder specialist, neurologist, or allied-health professional treating patients with Parkinson's, The Club is a free, non-commercial community you can refer to with confidence. It is not a medical device, not a diagnostic tool, and does not replace clinical care — it's a peer-support environment that helps patients stay engaged, tracked, and connected between visits.
If you'd like a bulk shipment of printed handouts, want to be listed inside The Club's provider map, or want to explore a formal referral partnership, please visit For Providers or contact us.
