We constantly strive to make a real difference for health professionals. Together, we further our commitment to improve care for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The Parkinson's Foundation focuses on best-practice care training, providing the latest information and increasing access to free educational tools for doctors, nurses and care team members. We do this through our:
