Women and Parkinson's
Men and women experience Parkinson’s disease differently, as it relates to their symptoms, medications, medical care and support services. The Parkinson’s Foundation is shedding light on and finding solutions for women-specific issues to help improve the health and well-being of women with PD. Join us for this important event for women with Parkinson’s, their family, friends, spouse or support person.
This program is free and available to women with Parkinson's, people of all gender identities interested in this topic, families, friends, support people, and healthcare workers.
