Veterans and Parkinson's: Understanding Cognition & Thinking Changes in Parkinson’s

Changes in memory, attention, and problem-solving are common non-motor symptoms of Parkinson’s that can affect daily life, relationships, and independence. In this webinar, we’ll explore how Parkinson’s impacts cognitive function and what veterans and care partners can do to recognize, manage, and adapt to these changes. We'll also discuss when to seek additional support, how the VA addresses cognitive health, and which tools and therapies may help maintain brain function and quality of life.
