Caregivers Have an Online Community

by StaffCondition Overview

I have read daily postings from the Caregiver’s Digest hosted by the National Parkinson Foundation. If you are a caregiver, I encourage you to join the forum and learn from the online discussions.

Joining the Caregiver’s Digest allows you to participate as an observer, or join the conversation. To start participating click on this link.

On a separate note, I have been learning a lot more about some of the challenges people with Parkinson’s confront in hospitals. I am researching and writing an article about those challenges. My hope is people I interview can pass along valuable information to people with Parkinson’s and their caretakers. I also hope it reaches doctors, nurses, and other health care professionals, and provides additional insight about Parkinson’s disease management.

I would like to interview nurses who work in hospitals around the country. If you are a nurse who would be willing to participate, please email me at mnilsen@myparkinsonsinfo.com. Or, if you know a nurse in your city or town I could interview me, please email.

If you (or your PWP) are planning a hospital stay in the next two weeks, I would also like to interview you. I would probably do interviews before your hospital stay, as well as after. Thanks!
