Community Partners Presents
Keys to successful long-term disease management are maintaining connections with others, staying on top of developments in research, being proactive in your care, and remaining an informed consumer.
In addition to social engagement, exercise and good mental well-being, treatment options such as medications and surgical interventions are a big component of Parkinson's care. Knowing more about the growing number of options puts you in the best position to make appropriate decisions for you.
Nina P. Brown
If anyone deserves to be honored during Parkinson’s Awareness Month, it is Nina Proler Brown. She lives life with purpose, dignity and all the challenges that come with being diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. Since her diagnosis in 1985, Nina has never stopped learning all that she could about the disease. Her lifelong compassion for others became focused on those affected by Parkinson’s disease–individuals who have been diagnosed, their family members, and their friends. MISSION & PURPOSE
