The Spring 2014 issue of Viewpoints covers a promising clinical study on the gene therapy ProSavin, which may improve motor symptoms by reprogramming brain cells to produce dopamine. Volunteer spotlights, like Sean and Kendra Hougan, showcase community dedication, while advice on exercise emphasizes its crucial role in brain health and managing symptoms. The publication also includes caregiving tips for introducing in-home care and invites caregivers to participate in research studies.
It provides updates on its five-year strategy to enhance resources, education, and exercise programs, alongside fundraising initiatives like The Parkinson’s Movement campaign and success stories such as the Carters, who raised over $14,000.
