PD Connect® is a program providing healthcare professionals with the tools to refer people with Parkinson's and their families to support services available through Parkinson Society British Columbia. This referral can be made at the point of diagnosis, or at any time during the disease's progression.
The intent of this program is to educate and support patients and families so they are better positioned for self-management and advocacy. It may also assist to bridge gaps in the healthcare system. At Parkinson Society British Columbia, we believe these programs and services are what the community needs, wants and deserves.
