Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy. I’m your pharmacist, Paul White. We’re glad you joined us. Before we begin, I’d like to thank our sponsors, Aultman Health Systems, Studio Arts & Glass, and Jenior Appraisals and Liquidations.

Today Brad White and I are broadcasting from our administrative offices and our guests are Chad Gooding, Physical Therapist with Aultman Physical Therapy, and Paula Adams with the Central Stark County YMCA.

Parkinson’s disease affects more than one million people in the United States. Aultman Physical Therapy and the YMCA work together to provide rehabilitation therapy for individuals with Parkinson’s Disease and other neurological conditions.  Specifically, they work with individuals with Parkinson’s Disease to help them use their body more normally and overcome or manage some of the symptoms associated with Parkinson's Disease.  This morning we will learn more about Parkinson’s Disease but also talk specifically about the therapy and exercise programs specifically developed to help people with Parkinson’s or other neurological conditions.

We’d like to remind our listeners that today’s program is also available on our podcast which can be downloaded from the app store on your mobile phone. Look for Health Matters with the Medicine Center Pharmacy and you can listen to any of our programs, anytime.
