April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month

Each year, 50 to 60 thousand new cases are diagnosed in the United States. Researchers are working toward finding a cure and making progress on the best treatment options.

This event is open to patients with a diagnosis of Parkinson’s, patient caregivers and family members, neurosurgeons, neurologists, and anyone else interested in learning about Parkinson’s disease, treatment options, research initiatives, and living with Parkinson’s disease.
