Joan, This is great news! I agree with Peg - the best person to speak to about this is Bill Bell executive director of the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation (www.nwpf.org). Their Booth Gardner Parkinson's Care center offers exemplary integrated, patient centered care - you can see more about the center at: http://www.evergreenhealthcare.org/showpage.asp?sec=31 We interviewed Bill last year for the Grass Roots Connection, and he mentioned that when the NWPF folks were planning their center, they visited and learned much from the Struthers Parkinson's center in Minneapolis. for information on Struthers: http://www.parknicollet.com/methodist/struthers_parkinsons_center/Clinica lserv/Programs-patients/programs-patients.html GRC Interview with Bill Bell http://www.grassrootsconnection.com/bbell.htm Good luck and keep us posted on your progress .
