Parkinson’s Disease Care
The Parkinson’s Disease Care Program at Emerson Health offers classes and resources to help improve the quality of life of those living with the disease.

Our Parkinson’s Program
Experienced experts from Emerson Health help people with Parkinson’s disease improve their quality of life. Our team of physical therapists (PT), occupational therapists (OT), and speech-language pathologists (SLT) have the knowledge, experience, and resources to create customized treatment plans based on your health goals, using the latest research-based methods.
Research shows that it is best to begin therapy as soon as someone is diagnosed with Parkinson’s – the earlier treatment begins, the more strength one gains. Our approach focuses on maintaining an active lifestyle and empowering those with Parkinson’s and their caregivers.
Most programs take place at Emerson’s Clough Family Center for Rehabilitative Therapies in Concord. We also offer Home Care services where experienced nurses, physical, occupational, and speech therapists, along with a social worker provide services in the comfort of your home.
