Navigating a Hospital Stay: What Every Person with Parkinson’s (and Their Caregivers) Need to Know
Free Virtual Program - March 21, from 11am-12:00pm
Presented by Maureen Gartner, MSN, NP-C
We invite you to join us for our March PD‑EDU session, “Hospital Stay,” led by our favorite Maureen Gartner, MSN, NP-C, whose deep experience in neurology and patient advocacy has helped countless individuals and families navigate one of the most stressful situations: a hospital visit.
People living with Parkinson’s face unique risks and challenges during hospitalization, and caregivers often play an essential role in keeping them safe. This session will help participants understand:
Why hospital stays can be complicated for people with Parkinson’s.
How to advocate for proper medication management.
The risks of unnecessary medications or procedures.
How caregivers can prepare before an emergency.
Tools, checklists, and communication tips.
This session empowers both people with Parkinson’s and their caregivers to be informed, prepared, and proactive.
We hope you’ll join us for this important, potentially life‑changing program!
