The Parkinson’s Foundation has invited us to participate in a research study. PD GENEration: Mapping the Future of Parkinson’s Disease, is a national initiative that offers genetic testing for clinically relevant Parkinson’s-related genes and genetic counseling at no cost for people with Parkinson’s disease (PD). Participation can be either in-person at one of our participating Centers of Excellence sites or from home through a telemedicine appointment and at-home cheek swab collection kit.

New Mexico Medical Orders for Scope of Treatment The NM MOST form is a legal document that goes into effect only if you become incapacitated and are unable to speak for yourself. It helps others know what type of medical care you want.
