Northwest Parkinson Foundation Newsletter Web-page: Excellent Info Resource

NWPF is an excellent newsletter out of Seattle with summaries of important events, articles and research relating to PD, but it is also a superb informational website for questions and concerns about managing your
PD. Click on 'Home.nwpf.org  and explore 'Care and Support' section.
Be sure to open link to 'Medical Alert Card'
https://www.nwpf.org/CareAndSupport/MedicalAlertCard.aspx

and 'The Tip Jar' is a wonderful idea.
(Excerpt):
"Welcome to the Tip Jar. Over the many years of working within the Parkinson's community we have heard some wonderful tips and insights on living with Parkinson's day-to-day. On this page we have compiled some of those helpful hints. These user tips are for the patient, family member and caregiver, and are meant to help improve the quality of life for those touched by PD.
This is also an opportunity to share your successes and ideas to help others improve their day-to-day journey with PD. You can add to any of the ideas already posted or create a new one of your own.


We also ask that you forward this resource to anyone else you think it might benefit.
As always, if you have any questions please send us an email at info@nwpf.org or call us at 1-877-980-7500. We always look forward to hearing from you.
