Coffee Chat: Movement Symptoms & Parkinson's

Virtual ( Zoom )
1:00 pm to 2:00 pm EST
Free

Pull up a chair, pour yourself a cup, and join us for an open, judgment-free conversation with the Parkinson’s Foundation’s Chief Medical Officer, Dr. Sneha Mantri. Our Coffee & Conversation series creates a welcoming space for you to ask the questions that matter most—whether they went unanswered during a past webinar, feel too personal to bring up in a group, or have been on your mind for a while.

From tremors to stiffness to changes in balance, movement symptoms are often the most visible signs of Parkinson’s—but they can also be the most misunderstood. In this session, Dr. Sneha Mantri and our other expert panelists will answer your questions about managing, treating, and living with movement symptoms, helping you feel informed and supported in your day-to-day life.

Bring your questions. Bring your curiosity. Bring the conversation. Don’t forget your coffee (or tea!).
