About the Director
------------------
In her 30-year career as a registered nurse, Jackie Russell
boasts a dedicated interest in the 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 Ohio 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 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 was
recently again published in the Sept/Oct 2009 and Feb 2010 issue
of AgingWell Magazine. She continues to have an interest in
Parkinson s research and is an author on the recently published a

2009) for her work with the Parkinson s Community. She shares
David s enthusiasm for their newest book/DVD Functional Fitness
Delay the Disease II and instructional course for care
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 of
this disease.
