Optimizing Care: Empowering Your Voice in Appointments
Navigating medical appointments with Parkinson’s can feel overwhelming, especially when time is limited, and priorities compete. The Parkinson’s Foundation Optimizing Care Initiative emphasizes the importance of what matters to you—ensuring your voice, story, and needs are central to your care. This webinar will explore practical strategies for self-advocacy, how to use storytelling to share your health journey effectively, and ways to clearly communicate your priorities so you leave your appointments feeling heard and empowered.
