    Speaker:   Sarah Rody-Spencer and Andrew Hill
    Title: Living Better with Parkinson's

    Sarah Rody-Spencer has dedicated the last 10 years of her health-care career to hospice palliative care, end-of-life care and to those living with life-limiting illnesses. Sarah is excited to share her experiences with the Living Better with Parkinson’s team and the community as a whole.


    Andrew Hill is recently retired from a 40-year career in project management. He was a senior team member of Intrawest Resort Development and board director, board chairman and president of the Georgian Triangle Development Institute. Andrew was diagnosed to have Parkinson’s in 2020. While his symptoms are relatively mild, the disease continues to progress, inspiring Andrew to be involved with treatment research and best practices for living well with Parkinson’s.
