Degenerative neurological diseases are the leading cause of disability worldwide; the number of diagnosed Parkinson’s disease cases has doubled in the last 25 years, and is expected to continue climbing as the population ages.

The result is increased demand for neurological care and innovative treatments, particularly for patients living with movement disorders.

University Hospitals has a robust pipeline of early and mid-career neurological physician-scientists poised to address this need; now is the time to invest in this next generation of leaders focused not only on research but also on delivering quality, patient-centered care.
