Managing Changing Symptoms: Staying Active at All Stages

Check-in starts at 9:00 a.m. ET.
After many years of good symptom management, Parkinson's disease may become more challenging. Learn how Parkinson's symptoms may change over time and new strategies available for managing them.
Together we will hear from Parkinson's experts as they offer adaptive tips and tools for staying active at all stages of the disease. With a special focus on exercise, travel and staying socially connected, we will explore new ways to continue doing the things we love.
