You make life better for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). We are here to help. A recent [Parkinson’s Foundation study](https://www.nature.com/articles/s41531-023-00523-y) that analyzed Medicare claims data found that more than 50% of people with Parkinson’s see a general neurologist for their PD care and 29% see a primary care physician. Whether you provide Parkinson’s care every day or only occasionally, the Parkinson’s Foundation is here to support you. Below we highlight the many resources that can help you, your patients and your team navigate this complicated disease, from diagnosis to advanced stages. ## Resources for Professionals ### Helpline Get answers to your PD questions and order resources for your office at no cost.
