With April being Parkinson’s Awareness Month, and April 11 having been World Parkinson’s Day, Parkinson Canada was invited to participate in the latest episode of From the Burgundy Chairs in an episode titled, The Future of Research, Advocacy and Care for the Parkinson’s Community.

Host Caroline Pitfield was joined by Karen Lee PhD, Parkinson Canada CEO, Dr. Tony Lang, Movement Disorder Specialist, and Liz Loewen, a member of the Parkinson Advisory Council who also lives with Parkinson’s.

In the episode, we’re sharing the story of the “Why”; why Parkinson’s continues to be so prominent in Canada. We’re also sharing the “How”, exploring the four pillars of support Parkinson Canada provides, including funding critical research, providing support programs and resources, advocating alongside people living with Parkinson’s, and building awareness for the disease.
