In this episode of Parkinson's EmPower Talks, our guest is Stephanie Johnson, founder of the Rick Johnson Parkinson's Disease Registry and the Parkinson's Disease Alliance of Wisconsin.

She will share what led her to become an advocate for the Parkinson’s community and the importance of a statewide Parkinson’s registry. We’re grateful to have her with us to discuss this important work.

Stephanie's EmPowering message is, "Connect with your values and the values that pull you forward, that give you a sense of meaning and purpose and hope. I think there's room for everybody to do a little something to make an impact and make change."

Discussion with Lisa Dickas, SLP - In this episode with Lisa, we will discuss the topic of speech therapy.

Lisa's EmPowering message is, "You can still make important and meaningful gains despite the diagnosis. You can take some things back from Parkinson's; it is not a one way street. The hardest part is the start. You can start now with adding good habits and dumping the bad ones, and really trying to set your current and future self up for as many options as possible."
