Learn How Experts Are Bringing Better Care Within Reach - Webinar

Access to timely and quality healthcare can be difficult to find for people with PSP, CBD and MSA. These challenges are especially true for historically excluded groups and those who face financial, geographic or structural obstacles to care.

Dr. Michiko Bruno and Dr. Tao Xie will share details about their research and discuss how the findings will help improve healthcare access for these important communities.

This webinar is hosted by the CurePSP Centers of Care at the University of Chicago and University of Hawaii and will be recorded and available on the YouTube channel following the event. 

Registration is free!
