Parkinson’s care partners—spouses, partners, kids, friends, neighbors, etc.—are important members of any care team. These people may be those that offer rides to the doctor, they may be a shoulder to lean on, a friend to laugh with over the phone, and everything in between. No matter who they are, how they help, or how often they help, they really matter.
The Davis Phinney Foundation and Dr. Jori Fleisher are here to talk about all the research she is working on to address the needs of the Parkinson's care partner. Dr. Fleisher is a fellowship-trained, movement disorders neurologist and researcher at Rush Medical College with a special interest in understanding the needs of individuals and families who are living with advanced Parkinson’s and related disorders
