There are numerous opportunities around the country to get educated on Parkinson’s disease. There are books, videos, webinars, websites, and educational classes offered by clinics and outreach centers, as well as national foundations and organizations. It is very important to start your education very soon after diagnosis and continue to learn the rest of your life. Today, I want to highlight two not-for-profit groups offering free educational classes to the newly diagnosed but with a twist – how to advocate for yourself along with educating yourself throughout your life. This is an innovative approach and an important combination. It’s the boxing equivalent to the one-two punch. Please keep listening.
Thank you to my sponsor, Boston Scientific, the maker of Vercise, a directional system Deep Brain Stimulation or DBS device. Boston Scientific is dedicated to transforming lives through meaningful innovation.
Sheryl,
You do a huge service to those of us in the Parkinson’s community. It is so important to get this information out to newly diagnosed folks as well as long-timers. Your podcasts always give valuable information which is frequently not available elsewhere.Even if one knows the information, it does not hurt to have it re-enforced!
Please keep doing what you are doing. You are helping to make the world a better place for Parkies!!
