    ![Veterans Webinar Banner](/sites/default/files/styles/no_sizing/public/images/Veterans%20Webinar%20banner.jpg?itok=6NkQtVOr)  Exercise and staying active are essential not only for physical health but also for mental and emotional well-being, especially as a veteran living with Parkinson’s disease. This program will address how staying active can positively impact physical symptoms, mood, and overall health. Participants will learn about the benefits of exercise, discover strategies to stay active beyond traditional workouts, and explore meaningful activities that bring joy and purpose.
