Nearly one million Americans are living with Parkinson’s disease, and that number is expected to increase in the next few years.
This hour, we’re joined by clinicians, nonprofit leaders, and a local woman living with the disease. They discuss the latest in research and treatment of Parkinson’s, including advancements being made in the Rochester-Finger Lakes region.
