Whether you live with Parkinson\u2019s and want to attend an education event in your community; or you are a caregiver needing support and advice, welcome to Parkinson Canada. Family members, those seeking credible information to understand what your new diagnosis means, and health professionals looking for resources to share with\u00a0 patients about the disease and treatments\u2014we have something unique for each of you, served up on a variety of channels and formats. We hope our menu of service offerings appeals to you and leaves you both satisfied and yet hungry for more knowledge.<\/p>\n

This April, during Parkinson Awareness Month, Parkinson Canada wants Canadians to know that they can access tools and resources to help manage their life with Parkinson\u2019s. In particular, the focus is on tools and tips to facilitate communication with members of their care team in various healthcare settings. And we are able to provide these extensive virtual and printable resources thanks to our generous supporters and donors.<\/p>\n

I suggest people living with Parkinson\u2019s and healthcare professionals explore our newest resource: Managing My Parkinson\u2019s Disease in Healthcare Settings<\/em>. We recently heard from clients in Cornwall, Ontario about the value they find in tools like this. For Penny and Vernon Eccles<\/strong> of Cornwall being informed gives them the confidence to know they are well prepared for life events, like the surgery Vernon will undergo shortly. Penny shared that she feels better prepared to advocate for Vernon, adding that she spends about the equivalent of a full day each week planning for and attending appointments with Vernon.<\/p>\n

Keeping informed about the disease is one of our best tools<\/em> to living well.<\/p>\n

You\u2019ll find plenty of information no matter where you are on your Parkinson\u2019s journey or whatever your connection to someone living with the disease. Parkinson Canada\u2019s recent collaborations and partnerships, as well as expert volunteers, have produced some outstanding publications that you can find on Parkinson.ca<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you like facts served up in a webinar, you can register to participate in a range of upcoming webinars and podcasts on our Knowledge Network<\/a>. Don\u2019t worry if you have missed past presentations\u2014these videos are available for replay on our YouTube channel and podcasts can be accessed from SoundCloud<\/a>. Consider subscribing<\/a> to our YouTube channel and you\u2019ll automatically receive updates as new content is added.<\/p>\n

You are not alone on your Parkinson\u2019s journey<\/em>.<\/p>\n

We are here for you, with help and hope. We advocate with you and on your behalf for issues that matter<\/a> to you. We are grateful to each individual and organization that makes our mission possible through a donation<\/a>. We are proud to work with other organizations and expert volunteers, making it possible for us to deliver credible services and resources to you and your family, and to your healthcare team. And we are located across Canada, so contact us at a location<\/a> that\u2019s convenient for you.<\/p>\n
