(11 am PT, 1 pm CT, 2pm ET)

Whether you have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s and are experiencing unexpected cognitive changes, or you are living with dementia with Lewy bodies and noticing movement symptoms, “Converging Paths: The Intersection of Lewy Body and Parkinson’s” will help you understand the shared features of these conditions—and the resources available to support you.

Hosted by the Lewy Body Dementia Association and the Davis Phinney Foundation this webinar will connect two often-overlapping worlds: Parkinson’s and Lewy body dementia (LBD). Samantha K. Holden, MD, MS, FAAN, a cognitive and movement disorders neurologist at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus, will discuss:

  • How Parkinsonism and Lewy body dementia intersect
  • Why accurate diagnosis matters
  • Tools, therapies and support systems from both communities
