Stepping back from the workforce is a milestone event in any life, and Parkinson’s disease (PD) adds an emotional and logistical layer. Many people living with the disease think differently about when and how to retire as they balance symptoms, their financial and health needs and their plans and interests. Tune into this episode of The Michael J. Fox Foundation’s Parkinson’s Podcast to listen to our expert panel of a person living with Parkinson’s, a care partner and people who work with the Parkinson’s community discuss retirement and Parkinson’s. They share advice from their own lives and tips for people entering a new phase of their life.
