Dr. Gilbert Hosts: PD’s Impact on Other Medical Problems, May 28, 11am PT

May 9, 2025 By Stanford Parkinson's Community Help

On Wednesday, May 28, at 11am PT, in the latest episode of Dr. Gilbert Hosts, Dr. Rebecca Gilbert will discuss the impact that Parkinson’s Disease (PD) has on other medical issues with her guest, movement disorders specialist Julie Kurek, MD.

Parkinson’s disease typically presents in individuals over the age of 60. At this stage of life, people often experience a variety of other health conditions as well. Consequently, it is quite common for patients to manage Parkinson’s disease alongside other medical issues.

Listen in as doctors Gilbert and Kurek explore how a concurrent diagnosis of Parkinson’s interacts with other chronic conditions, such as diabetes or cancer, and offer insights into navigating these complexities. Importantly, the doctors will discuss how to evaluate if a change in PD symptoms is due to worsening of PD or a new medical problem, and share essential tips for preparing for a hospital stay if you have PD.

Jot down your questions so Dr. Kurek can answer them LIVE during the program.
