Exercise is a powerful tool for managing Parkinson’s disease symptoms at every stage. This program explains how staying active supports movement, mood, and thinking- and may even slow disease progression. Participants will learn practical ways to build exercise into daily life for better mobility and overall well-being.

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