Movement disorders neurologist. Out to figure out why no 2 people with PD are the same! All opinions are mine. Tweets ≠ medical advice

A very happy birthday and happy 20 years to Maureen Gartner, CNP. She has provided incredible care to innumerable patients and families in the region in the last 2 decades.

Faculty feature

Dr. Emily Hill @DrEmHilly completed medical school and residency @RushMedical and fellowship @LabShulman and @PDCMDC

Her primary interests lie in racial disparities, health inequities and genetics in Parkinson’s disease and parkinsonism.

[UC Movement disorders @UCMovDis]

Today, on September 29, the World Movement Disorders Day, let us raise awareness about Movement disorders.

More common than we realize but rare enough to deserve greater attention

Towards greater recognition, earlier diagnosis and better treatments

No one:

Absolutely no one:

#Cigna, the day before Thanksgiving: hey, you know that medicine which has been working for your patient with cancer for YEARS? Yeah, we're not going to approve that any more ...

News: Parkinson’s disease gene variant found in study of some people of African ancestry https://t.co/7Pfo9yqudX

[michaeljfox.org @MichaelJFoxOrg]

Until recently, our understanding of Parkinson’s biology has been limited to mainly volunteers of European descent. In a groundbreaking research discovery, today new findings published in @TheLancetNeuro reveal a novel genetic variant that increases the risk of Parkinson's among people of African descent. This finding — enabled by support from the @ASAP_Research initiative and The Michael J. Fox Foundation — importantly provides a step toward therapeutic development and research that is reflective of the diverse biology and experiences of all individuals living with Parkinson's.

@JoriFleisher @NIHAging @JChodoshMD @ParkinsonDotOrg @LBDAssoc Congratulations! Can’t wait to see you continue your very important work!

[Jori Fleisher @JoriFleisher]

#Gratitude. For these small people I get to call my own. For this view and sharing it with those I love. For #DoNotDisturb to enjoy it…

And for finding notification that my first #R01 is officially funded. 🙏🏻 @NIHAging @JChodoshMD @ParkinsonDotOrg @LBDAssoc & #LBD #caregivers

So honored to be involved in this amazing conference for World Fragile X Day! Everyone had great questions. Happy to spread the word that @UCNeuroPMR is here for our adult premutation carriers. #fxtas #fragilexsyndrome

[Dr. Lauren M. Schmitt @schmitt_lm_phd]

How did I celebrate World Fragile X Day today?? Threw a regional FXS conference and helped bring in former Vogue photographer @PositiveExpo to send message “Change how you see, see how you change”. 🩵 thank you to everyone who helped make today possible!!!

[Emily Hill @DrEmHilly]

Check out our new article! Can we study 10s of 1000s of PD patients in EHR? Does the data accurately represent all races? Not yet! @AlbertoEspay @BDWissel @bkissela https://t.co/F9zvoererM

A belated but heartfelt farewell to two brilliant new Movement Disorders neurologists, Dr. Chris Wood (left) and Dr. Vanesa Botsford (@BotsfordVanesa, right). Many patients will benefit from having them as their doctors! (This photo is from our last dinner together ❤️)

[Dr. Glaucomflecken @DGlaucomflecken]

This is what health insurance companies do. They find a commonly performed procedure costing them money, cover it with red tape, then attribute their actions to physician greed. Aetna did it with cataract surgery last year. This is just the beginning. https://t.co/D48eUGN6Pa
