THE CHALLENGE
Parkinson's is complex.
Care shouldn't be.
Parkinson's disease is a complex and requires specialized expertise and a wide range of treatments, therapies, and resources for optimal management of the disease.
It has been shown that people with Parkinson's disease have the best outcomes when they work with clinicians who have specialized training in PD symptom management.
However, many North Carolinians live far from specialists.
ParkNC was created by the UNC Movement Disorders Center and is meant to serve as a resource for clinicians and people with Parkinson's across the state of North Carolina.
