A consultant neurologist at the Radboud University Medical Center in the Netherlands, Bas is tirelessly working to improve healthcare in Parkinson’s.
He’s the co-author of the book Ending Parkinson’s Disease, and he’s won the National Healthcare Hero Award and Tom Isaacs Award for creating ParkinsonNet, which is helping patients and doctors in improving care and communication. He’s also discovered that some Parky people can ride bikes even if they struggle with walking.
What a guy.
