Anticipating Needs Through the Parkinson's Journey | Research Perspectives

Perspectives from patients, care partners, and neurologists

Research has shown that families impacted by Parkinson's disease benefit from proactive guidance around disease progression, but many don't receive this and enter the later stages without vital emotional and practical preparations. In her recent preliminary study, Jennifer Corcoran, MD, sought to gather the experiences, preferences, and perspectives of people with Parkinson's, care partners, and neurologists surrounding guidance about anticipated PD progression. Discover her initial findings and how they could be applied in your life and community!

Jennifer Corcoran, MD is Assistant Professor of Neurology at the University of Rochester Medical Center Neuropalliative Care Clinic in Rochester, NY.
