'Parkinson' is the usual shortened form of 'die Parkinson-Krankheit' (Parkinson's disease); in technical language, people also say 'Morbus Parkinson' (Parkinson's disease). The word is usually used without an article, for example in 'Parkinson haben' (to have Parkinson's disease) or 'Parkinson behandeln' (to treat Parkinson's disease).
Ihre Großmutter hat Parkinson und braucht Hilfe beim Anziehen.

Verbs such as 'diagnostizieren' (to diagnose), 'behandeln' (to treat), 'untersuchen' (to examine), and 'an Parkinson leiden' (to suffer from Parkinson's disease) are often used with 'Parkinson'. These combinations help you form natural sentences about the disease.
Die Klinik behandelt Parkinson mit einer individuell angepassten Therapie.
The clinic treats Parkinson's disease with an individually tailored therapy.
The preposition 'an' (with) is often used in combination with a verb: You can 'an Parkinson erkranken' (develop Parkinson's disease) or 'an Parkinson leiden' (suffer from Parkinson's disease). The preposition is a fixed part of each respective combination.
