This presentation will comprehensively review the etiology, signs, symptoms and treatment of Parkinson’s disease. Additionally, we will explore the risks associated with hospital stays in this vulnerable population and review tools that may play an active role in their care.

Participants in this web seminar will be able to:
- Describe the risks associated with hospital stays for those with Parkinson’s;
- List strategies to ensure quality care for patients with Parkinson’s;
- List techniques Parkinson’s patients can use in self advocacy; and,
