Hospital Safety and Parkinson's Disease

For most people, being in the hospital is a stressful experience. For people with Parkinson’s disease (PD), symptoms may get worse and new symptoms can develop. Proactively understanding the risks a person with Parkinson’s faces in the hospital can help to minimize complications and recovery time. 

Join the Parkinson's Foundation to learn about common challenges and ways to advocate for the best possible care while hospitalized. Attendees will receive a Hospital Safety Guide, parking, and lunch at no cost. Registration is free but required, and seating is limited. 

Speakers:
Andrea Fuentes, MD, Movement Disorder Specialist, UCSD
Adriana Gonzalez, MSW, LCSW, Clinical Social Worker, UCSD
