### **Check-in &amp; Resource Fair\* begins at 10:00 a.m. and the program starts at 10:45 a.m.** 

Even after years of good symptom control, Parkinson's disease can take unexpected turns. This program explores the "mid-stride" changes that happen and offers strategies to manage them. Learn about treatment options, when to adjust your care team, how to stay independent and supported as your needs change.

\*The **Resource Fair** will feature local Community Partners that provide services and support for the Parkinson’s Community.
