Each year, 90,000 people in the United States are newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease (PD), and the number of people living with PD across the country is expected to rise to 1.2 million by 2030. Parkinson’s disease is a neurological condition affecting the brain. There’s no cure for the disease, but care and treatments can help relieve symptoms and maintain quality of life.
As part of the Parkinson’s Foundation (PF) Community Partners in Parkinson’s Care, our program aims to support and provide treatment to meet the unique needs of people living with Parkinson’s Disease. Based on best-practice care in movement, non-movement and cognitive symptom management, our teams tailor individualized care plans with a combination of medication and supportive therapies like physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy as well as nutrition.
