Several years after being diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, Craig Overman was starting a new stage of his life, intimidated by the lengthy hallways at UC Health University of Colorado Hospital, as well as the five and one-half hour drive to get there. Not anymore.
Abbott's new NeuroSphere Virtual Clinic allows patients to now be programmed remotely over a secure WiFi connection giving them greater access to their managing neurologist, reducing the time and money to travel to clinic locations and expedited clinic optimization.

Congress has introduced legislation, the Credit for Caring Act, to offer a nonrefundable tax credit for working family caregivers. This legislation would provide a tax-credit of up to $5,000 for eligible working family members. You can tell your local representatives how important this credit is through our outreach tool.
This recent blog piece is a great overview of some of the incredible things the Michael J. Fox Foundation team and community members have achieved this year, including the reversal of a rule that would have restricted vital data access for researchers and threatened the privacy of those living with PD.
