Nearly 1,000,000 people in the US are living with PD and approximately 60,000 additional people are diagnosed with PD each year. Stay online after the initial presentation to have general questions answered.
On the third Friday of each month join us for a new speaker addressing a wide range of issues that will help our community age well and prevent falls.
