The Meadowlark Hills Parkinson’s Program is hosting a webinar, “Building a Care Partnership: Supporting a Loved One with Parkinson’s Disease” sponsored by the Michael J. Fox Foundation from 11a.m.to 12 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 4, in the KSU Classroom.

“Caregivers offer critical support throughout a loved one’s journey with Parkinson’s disease. They are a major part of any care team, helping to make adjustments to daily life and adapt to new routines. In this webinar, we will explore how caregivers can help manage a friend or family member’s health after a Parkinson’s diagnosis. We will also discuss how to maintain a healthy and supportive relationship with your loved one, as well as the importance of self-care. 

Our panel will feature Lonnie Ali, Founder of The Muhammad Ali Center, member of The Michael J. Fox Foundation Founders Council and caregiver to husband Muhammad Ali. Diane Breslow, MSW, LCSW, Parkinson's Disease Consultant, will also join the panel. This webinar is moderated by veteran broadcast journalist Dave Iverson, who also emcees the Partners in Parkinson’s community events.” 

Although the topic is geared toward those working with a partner with Parkinson’s, there will be valuable pieces of information about caregiving in general. All are welcome to attend. If you have questions, please contact Michelle at 323-3899.
