PDF Newletter Gets a Makeover

PDF Newsletter Gets a Makeover

Based upon your feedback, the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation® (PDF®) recently re-designed this quarterly newsletter, News & Review. We hope the re-design helps readers — whether you are recently diagnosed, have been living with Parkinson’s disease (PD) for several years or are a care partner, health professional or researcher — to find the information you need. The newsletter includes:

• Science News including PDF-funded research and updates on treatments. For instance, see our report about a PDF-funded study that discovered a new gene implicated in Parkinson’s.
• Tips on Coping with Parkinson’s disease and its symptoms, such as those offered for orthostatic hypotension.
• Personal Stories from people affected by Parkinson’s, such as the letter by Peter Gall.
• Resources that may help you, including the new series of PD ExpertBriefings.
• Profiles of the dedicated individuals who are raising funds for PDF, such at those on that have ambitiously climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and golfed their way to more than $60,000 for research.
• Ways to Get Involved including the Clinical Research Learning Institute or community events.
