Parkinson's disease (PD) is a complex movement disorder characterized by a variety of symptoms. Patients are encouraged to utilize a wide range of treatments, therapies, and resources for optimal management of the disease. Beneficial therapies include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy. Individuals with PD may also be interested in psychiatry, social work, mental health therapy, music therapy, or other resources such as support groups. It has been shown that people with PD benefit the most and have the best outcomes when they work with clinicians who have specialized training in PD symptom management.

The ParkNC program aims to create a localized referral network of experts specialized in Parkinson's care.
UNC has compiled a listing of agencies throughout North Carolina that have allied health clinicians (physical, occupational, speech therapy) who have received comprehensive training in Parkinson's disease. They may have done this through programs such as a UNC-hosted Colloquium on Interdisciplinary Care for Parkinson's, LSVT Big & Loud, the Parkinson's Foundation Allied Team Training in Parkinson's (ATTP), and/or Parkinson's Wellness Recovery: Exercise4Brain Change.
We also include on this website other Parkinson's-specific resources in North Carolina.
