Join us for presentation focused on educating clients, families, and caregivers on how Parkinson’s can affect your functionality and how best to offset this to maintain and extend independence in the home and the community. At the end of the presentation, audience members will feel more empowered and knowledgeable about preventing ER visits, hospitalizations, and injuries.
