Cognitive Impairment, Safety, and Parkinson's
Published 2024-05-20
This month’s Care Partner Meetup features a question-and-answer session with Dr. Jori Fleisher, a movement disorder specialist who works at Rush University. Dr. Fleisher has a special interest in the impacts Parkinson’s has on care partners. In 2023, she led our care partner training program. That program is accessible here: davisphinneyfoundation.org/programs/care-partner-t…

Thank you for elaborating on what makes a neurologist specialist in movement disorders & Parkinsons. This also helps me to know what I'm up against trying to find a way to get to one. ❤

I was not the primary care partner for my mother when she had Parkinson's nor was I the primary care partner for my brother when he had Parkinson's but I am the primary care partner for my wife who was recently diagnosed with Parkinson's. That being said I wish I had a resource like this years ago but am grateful I have it now. Thanks for all you do! Great program!
