Basics of Parkinson's 2021-2023

Every year we host a program called Basics of Parkinson’s, typically hosted in February.

This program is for individuals who have been recently diagnosed with PD and for their loved ones involved in their care. However anyone at any point in their journey with PD is welcome to join. Each year we have a different doctor present this program. Many who have attended multiple times have stated they have learned something new.

In 2021 we moved this program to be hosted virtually via Zoom due to COVID. We considered moving it back to in person but have received such positive feedback of hosting our programs online. People feel it is more accessible and enjoy watching our programs from the comfort of their own home.

Our next Basic’s of Parkinson’s is to be hosted on Feb. 10 from 11am-Noon via zoom, hosted by Dr. Iris Lin. Dr. Lin will be presenting the facts about Parkinson’s. This is perfect for those who are newly diagnosed or want to review the basics. A panel discussion to follow the presentation. 

Dr. Iris Lin completed her medical school training at the University of Virginia, followed by residency training in Neurology at the University of Pittsburgh. She is currently completing her fellowship training in Movement Disorders Neurology at the University of Cincinnati and is looking forward to practicing in the greater Cincinnati area upon graduation. In her free time, she enjoys crochet, reading, and cooking.

Before joining us virtually on Feb. 10, please consider watching our previous Basics of PD presentations.

HAPPY HOLIDAYS with Parkinson’s disease

HAPPY HOLIDAYS with Parkinson’s disease

Holidays can be full of joy and excitement, but also tricky to navigate if you have any sort of chronic illness. The keys to enjoying the holidays can be sorted into a few important categories: maintain routines, be alert to safety issues, ask for and accept the help you need, and keep it simple.
