Let's talk about Parkinson’s Disease. Many of you could be familiar with this neurological disorder through high profile people like Michael J. Fox, who are open about their challenges with the condition. Our conversation today will focus on how it affects the body, who’s at risk for developing the disorder and what new research is being developed for treatments. Dr. Melita Petrossian, a fellowship-trained neurologist and the medical director of the Pacific Movement Disorders Center at Providence Saint John’s Health Center joins host Jennifer Semenza to help us learn more about navigating this neurological condition.
