From the moment the doctor delivers a diagnosis of Parkinson's disease the role of, and necessity for, a care partner is created. Parkinson's does not only affect the individual diagnosed; those closest to this individual are typically consumed with questions and uncertainty.
The Care Partner Mini-Series is dedicated to providing the tools and resources care partners need to support a person with Parkinson's while maintaining their own health and autonomy.
