Why Attend?

Parkinson’s disease is a complex neurodegenerative disorder that affects movement and coordination and can lead to a variety of non-motor symptoms. While medication and surgical treatments are often necessary, lifestyle modifications, including nutrition and exercise, play a pivotal role in managing symptoms and improving quality of life.

The event will feature leading experts in the fields of neurology, nutrition, and physical therapy. Engage in interactive Q&A sessions with the experts, where you can ask questions and receive personalized advice. Connect with others who are handling the challenges of Parkinson’s. Share experiences and tips, and build a supportive network.

In addition to the event, we invite you to watch the replay of PD-Connect’s 1st Monday of the Month Guest Speaker Series, featuring Jerry Hurtubise, J.D., and the exercise group in PD-Connect Exercise Classes for Parkinson’s Disease in Marin County. This video, recorded in early July, showcases practical exercises and expert advice that can significantly benefit those managing Parkinson’s.
