Hospital Safety Workshop
Check-in and lunch begin at 12 p.m. The main program starts at 12:30 p.m.
People with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are at a higher risk of hospitalization and face many challenges while in the hospital. It is important for all people with Parkinson’s to be aware of the risks, prepare ahead of time and know how to advocate for their needs while in the hospital.
Join the Parkinson's Foundation for this interactive event to learn more about keeping you and your loved ones with PD safe. Attendees will also receive a copy of the new Hospital Safety Guide.
There is no charge to attend, but registration is required. This program is open to people with Parkinson's, their families, friends, and the community.
