Secondary victims of Parkinson’s Disease? 

Join me as Dr. George Ackerman, affectionately known as Sharon’s son, discusses how Parkinson’s impacts the care partner and their family, which he refers to as secondary victims of Parkinson’s disease.    

George began his advocacy work shortly after his mother passed.  Listen in as he shares his mother’s journey, his journey as a care partner, and his advocacy work.
