AV on Health - Parkinson's Disease

The late Maurice White, lead singer of musical giant Earth, Wind and Fire, was diagnosed in 1992 with Parkinson's Disease. Muhammad Ali was diagnosed in 1984 and continues to live with this disease that has no cure. These are two prominent African Americans struck by Parkinson's - a disorder of the central nervous system that affects movement, often including tremors, and often goes undiagnosed for years after its onslaught. Today there is no cure for Parkinson's, but there are medications to help with the symptoms and research to find answers about the disease. On the next Another View on Health, we'll talk about Parkinson's Disease with neurologist Dr. Carmen Fuentes, who specializes in treatment of the disease, along with Larry Dumville, a retired attorney with Parkinson's, and Don Bradway, Chair of the Advisory Board for American Parkinson's Disease Association, Hampton Roads. Join guest host, cardiologist Dr. Keith Newby and host Barbara Hamm Lee as we discuss Parkinson's Disease on the next Another View, Friday, March 25 at noon on 89.5 WHRV-FM or stream us live on this blog!
