PPMD knows that keeping track of all elements of your/your child’s care can be overwhelming and confusing. For this reason, we have created a series of care checklists for families to track and understand recommended care relative to each stage of disease progression.

Every single person living with Duchenne deserves the best care possible. We at PPMD strongly recommend coordinated multidisciplinary care to manage every aspect of Duchenne. In partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), PPMD advocated for and participated in the development and updates of standards of care for Duchenne. These Duchenne Care Guidelines were published in Lancet Neurology in 2018.

These checklists are meant to be a resource to help organize and navigate the many moving parts of Duchenne care.

Finding the Best Care Nearby

It is also important that families know who is in charge of delivering the care they need and understand what centers are providing optimal, standardized care and services in agreement with the Duchenne Care Guidelines. PPMD’s Certified Duchenne Care Center (CDCC) Program helps to ensure that centers have met the requirements for and agree to provide this level of care.
