The Dalles: Basics and Beyond (In-Person)

In 2018 we embarked on a pilot program to expand Parkinson's specific education and services to underserved communities in Oregon. 2024 saw PRO staff fully resume these efforts with focused in-person education and support in several identified communities. We continue in 2025 with this event in The Dalles!
