Taking Charge: Strategies for Meaningful Healthcare Visits
Navigating Parkinson's disease (PD) requires an active and informed approach to healthcare. This program will encourage individuals living with PD to take charge of their care by providing strategies for effective communication and self-advocacy before, during and after healthcare visits.
Participants will learn how to make the most of each appointment by prioritizing their needs and preparing questions and concerns in advance. Additionally, attendees will gain access to valuable tools and resources from the Parkinson's Foundation to support their journey.
