Educating our physicians and healthcare professionals is also crucial to our mission. The more they know, the sooner they can provide an accurate and timely diagnosis and treatment recommendation. For healthcare professionals, we provide educational materials in print and video, and on the web. We also present specialized curriculum for general neurologists, physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech and language therapists across the U. S. We have established working relationships with professional organizations that provide us the opportunity to present at their conferences. In their local areas, our many volunteers and support group participants also play an important role in educating the neurologists and healthcare professionals.
We are here for you … you are not alone. As research continues to search for a cure, we are sensitive to your daily challenges and needs. We can and want to provide you with resources and support during your journey with neurodegenerative disease. Get in touch with us and let us know your concerns. We can’ t make the disease go away, but we can help you persevere. Contact info @ curepsp. org or 347-294-2873( CURE).
