Parkinson's disease affects 10 million people worldwide. It is a devastating neurodegenerative condition that leads to slowness of movement and rigidity and, in a large proportion of patients, depression and dementia. Currently, while there are strategies to alleviate early motor symptoms, there is no cure.

The Integrated Parkinson's Care Network (IPCN) will coordinate and provide the best and most appropriate hospital and community resources for the personalized needs of each patient, while at the same time producing valuable clinical data. 

Join Dr. David Grimes, Division Head and Chief, Division of Neurology and fellow experts as we journey through the IPCN experience through the eyes of someone living with Parkinson’s disease and learn about how we aim to change the lives of PD patients and their caregivers.

Also, come celebrate our other successes in Parkinson's Research at the uOBMRI and the Ottawa Hospital.
