Join the Parkinson's Foundation to hear from experts on symptom change and management.

Even after years of good symptom control, Parkinson’s disease can take unexpected turns. This program explores the “mid-stride” changes that happen and offers strategies to manage them. Learn about treatment options, when to adjust your care team, and how to stay independent and supported as your needs change.

Come together with your community for presentations, a resource fair, exercise demonstrations, lunch, breakout sessions for people with YOPD, veterans, care partners, and more.

This event is free and open to people with Parkinson's and their families. Registration is required as in-person seating is limited.
