We held our very first fall symposium last year, and we are excited to announce that we are making it an annual event!
Join us next month, Thursday October 2nd, for an inspiring and informative morning with expert insights and a hands-on exercise demonstration geared for those living with Parkinson's disease.
Hear about cutting edge treatments from renowned neurologist Dr. Jerry Vitek, get practical advice from Dr. Paul Tuite (named a Top Doctor by Mpls.St.Paul Magazine for the past 5 years), learn some new exercises, and explore caregiver strategies from our PD nurses. Whether you're living with PD, caring for someone with PD, or have someone with PD in your life, this free event offers something for everyone.
After running out of tickets last year, we're moving the event to a bigger space, to accommodate everyone!
