The Norton Neuroscience Institute Cressman Parkinson’s & Movement Disorders Center is dedicated to offering diagnoses and advanced treatments for people with Parkinson’s disease and related movement disorders. Along with clinical care, support resources and education at every step, patients and their family members play an important role in the holistic care we provide.
With treatment and support for the whole patient, not just the disease, Norton Neuroscience Institute is the choice of more patients for their neurologic care than any other provider in Louisville or Southern Indiana.
Norton Neuroscience Institute Resource Centers offer a dedicated patient navigator and a collection of specialized Parkinson’s disease support resources. From one-on-one consultations with a navigator to patient support groups to exercise classes specifically for those with Parkinson’s, we work to create a community designed to support the whole person.
Parkinson’s support services through Norton Neuroscience Institute Resource Centers are supported by the Norton Healthcare Foundation. Through donations, volunteerism and community support, the foundation is able to provide funding for support groups, exercise programs, equipment, new technologies, clinical research and health education for patients, families, medical staff and the community.
