Veterans and Parkinson’s: Managing Cognitive Changes

Please note that the in-person event is from 9 a.m.-12 p.m. PT and the online event is 10-11:30 a.m. PT.
For veterans living with Parkinson's disease (PD), thinking and learning changes can be a concern. These cognitive challenges can affect not only the person with Parkinson’s, but also their care partners, families and friends.
Join us to hear from Parkinson's disease experts and advocates about strategies and treatments to help prevent and slow cognitive decline.
Attend in-person or watch the program at-home via Zoom: This program will be in-person in Paramount, CA. You have the option of attending our in-person program or you can watch the webinar from home via Zoom. Please tell us which option you prefer during the registration process.
This program is open to people with Parkinson's, their family, friends, and the community. There is no charge to attend, but registration is required.
