Gentle reminder to share your Parkinson’s care experience

We’re conducting a short survey to better understand the experiences of people living with Parkinson’s within the health care system. This will help us inform our planning as we work with all levels of government to create a more supportive and collaborative system for all.

Your participation is completely voluntary, but your voice is essential.
