April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month |
 |
|
April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month, chosen because it is the birth month of James Parkinson, who first identified the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease more than 200 years ago. Since then, we have made considerable progress towards understanding what causes the motor symptoms we most associate with Parkinson’s disease (PD), and along the way, we have begun to appreciate a broad spectrum of non-motor symptoms that were not initially recognized as part of the disease. |

Understanding the importance of carotid health is vital.
