Let's Talk About It
Check-in starts at 12 p.m. and the program starts at 1 p.m.
There are many non-motor challenges associated with Parkinson's disease that may not always be easy to discuss. With a focus on sleep issues and falls, this program will provide strategies for coping and talking about it with healthcare providers or loved ones. We will hear about how Parkinson's affects sleep quality and learn about the neurobiology behind fall risk.
