Women and Parkinson's Disease
Women & Parkinson's Disease: A Day of Learning, Community & Discussion for Women Living with PD
Check-in, Resource Fair and Breakfast start at 10 a.m. Lunch will also be provided.
Join Indianapolis area women, living with PD, for a day of community, education, and discussion about Pelvic Floor Health and Intimacy.
Due to the goal of creating an empowering and open environment for discussion, we respectfully request only women with Parkinson’s attend this event. However, If you are a caregiver who is a woman, please know you are also welcome. Even though this program is focused on Women Living with PD, we believe it can also be beneficial for women in general.
*Please note, if a male partner/spouse/friend needs to be present as a support for their loved one, we will have a designated area in the lounge (near the event room) where they can enjoy some community time on their own with complimentary refreshments and food.
