Summary
This study is a nonrandomized, pilot study of an interdisciplinary, patient-centric model of health care delivery in a "boot camp" style structured clinic for people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). 20 participants will attend a three session EMPOWER PD clinic and a two month follow up interview. The primary objective is to assess feasibility and acceptability of the newly developed clinic intervention as well as individual perception of experience and barriers.
