Learn More. Live Better. Parkinson's Symposium.

In-person check-in begins at 12 p.m. and the program starts at 12:50 p.m.

Living with Parkinson's can be challenging, but there are many things you can do to maintain and improve your quality of life. This program will provide you with information to help you find the balance between a proactive approach and wondering what lies ahead. We will cover common Parkinson's disease (PD) medications, their benefits, potential side effects, and the need for adjustments over time. We will also emphasize the importance of a well-rounded care plan that includes exercise and social engagement to combat isolation. Together, these factors can greatly improve the quality of life for those living with PD.
