Parkinson's Policy Podcast
From Washington, DC, at the U.S. Capitol and beyond, we bring together Senators, Representatives, researchers, and advocates to amplify the voices of people living with Parkinson’s disease.
The Parkinson’s Policy Podcast brings two Parkinson’s advocates together, George Ackerman (TogetherForSharon) and Margaret Preston (Power Over Parkinson’s) to create a higher level of awareness about Parkinson’s Disease, the fastest rising neurological disorder. Both touched by the disease, George and Margaret are passionate about advocating for those with the disease, and for all those caring for someone with the disease by hosting lawmakers who can help form policies that aide this growing community.

Turning Law into Action w/Dr. Walter Koroshetz
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Listen as we sit down with Dr. Walter Koroshetz, former Director of the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. We cover many diverse areas with Dr. Koroshetz including the alarming uptick in Parkinson’s diagnoses, the possibility of environmental causes, the origination of Parkinson’s in the gut, and, of course, Dr. Koroshetz shares his thoughts on Parkinson’s advocacy. He uses the passing of the National Plan to End Parkinson’s as a prime example of what advocacy is capable of doing and how it’s going to take the broad group, the National Plan Council, to continue to push this legislation into action.
