The Parkinson's Project Podcast uses first-person experiences, expert analysis, and cutting-edge information from the field of medicine. Our mission is to empower and inform people about the work that is currently being done and to drive research and innovation for new and better methods to combat PD.

The Parkinson’s Project podcast will air new episodes twice per month, with a goal of erasing the stigma associated with the disease and empowering and inspiring those dealing with the infliction to live life to its fullest.
