In the new Ask the MD: In Conversation video, Rachel Dolhun, MD, movement disorder specialist and vice president of medical communications at The Michael J. Fox Foundation talks with Board Vice Chairman Jeff Keefer, diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2007. In this wide-ranging discussion, Jeff shares thoughts on new treatments he’s been using to manage his “off” times, the importance of research participation, and his pride in chairing the Foundation’s Board during a time when a new wave of PD treatments was approaching FDA approval.

The "Ask the MD" series is intended as an educational resource for people with Parkinson's and their loved ones. Please consult with your personal healthcare provider to address individual medical questions.

The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research is dedicated to finding a cure for Parkinson's disease through an aggressively funded research agenda and to ensuring the development of improved therapies for those living with Parkinson's today. [ Ссылка ]
