Over the next several weeks, I’m going to write a series of blogs and posts on my social media platforms regarding how a Multidisciplinary Team at Huntington’s Disease Society of America (HDSA) Centers of Excellence across the U.S. can benefit Huntington’s disease (HD) patients and their families. There exists expert HD care at 67 distinct medical facilities in 36 states across the nation and Washington, DC. (see the list below)
Dr. Alexandra Nelson
To get started, let’s hear from Dr. Alexandra Nelson, neurologist at the UCSF Medical Center Huntington’s Disease Clinic as she describes what a multidisciplinary care team can do for you and your family. “At UCSF, it is teamwork based on the complementary expertise of multiple individuals, with a goal of providing compassionate, knowledgeable, and accessible care to families coping with Huntington’s Disease.”
