Drs. Ray Dorsey and Michael Okun, both leading experts in the United States on parkinson's disease, have a prescription for action on how to prevent the disease in the first place and offer revolutionary treatment for those suffering. This week, they are speaking with Next Steps Forward host Chris Meek about their book “Ending Parkinson’s Disease: A Prescription for Action” and their PACT initiative. They will break down step-by-step what PACT is composed of: P - Prevent the disease, A - Advocate for protective policies, C - Care for patients, and T - Treat the condition with innovative therapies, and how even average citizens can play a part in ending the disease by making the commitment to carry out the steps of PACT themselves. With a bold vision on how to eventually prevent the disease altogether, Drs. Dorsey and Okun explain to the audience what it would take to get there - medically, financially, politically and socially. Whether you are a patient, relative of someone living with the disease, clinician, politician or activist, this hour has imperative and life changing information in store for you.
