Communicating Your 5 Parkinson’s Care Needs During a Hospital Visit

People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are at a higher risk of hospitalization and face many challenges while in the hospital. This year alone, one in every six people with PD will experience avoidable complications in the hospital. Whether you live with Parkinson’s or love someone who does, it is important for you to be aware of the risks, prepare ahead of time and know how to advocate for your (or your loved one’s) needs while in the hospital. This course, along with the Hospital Safety Guide, will help you and your loved ones prepare for and navigate a future hospital stay, whether planned or unplanned.
