Are you concerned about yourself or a loved one? Have you recently been diagnosed? This program will help you understand what Parkinson's is and is not and why it is difficult to diagnose.

Parkinson's disease (PD), is a chronic, neurodegenerative disease that can lead to a wide range of symptoms and challenges. This presentation will provide an overview, what the signs and symptoms are, and what treatment options and resources are available. We will also be discussing the importance of exercise along with some guidelines and strategies for managing symptoms.
