PARKINSON’S PROJECT
People with Parkinson Disease are faced with a number of problems, including mobility, caregiver stress, transportation, family interactions and, most distressing, uncertainty about the future. Many patients are not even aware of the questions that they should be asking. That is where the Neuro Challenge Foundation comes in.
In September, Doctors Hospital was named one of the nation’s top performers on Key Quality Measures by the Joint Commission for heart attacks, heart failure, pneumonia and surgical care—one of 405 hospitals nationwide to receive this honor and the only hospital in the Sarasota/Manatee area to be recognized.
