Learn More. Live Better. Parkinson's Symposium:  Empowered & Activated with an Interdisciplinary Care Team

No matter where you are in your Parkinson’s journey, an interdisciplinary care team can play a vital role in helping you live well. Managing daily life with Parkinson’s disease requires ongoing learning and adaptation as symptoms and needs evolve.

This program highlights the importance of identifying your care team early, engaging with them regularly, and understanding how each professional contributes essential insights, resources, and strategies for maintaining a sense of control, independence, identity and lifestyle. Through an in-depth discussion with experts and lived-experience perspectives, attendees will gain practical information to support and empower them in their daily lives.

This event is free and open to people with Parkinson's and their families. Registration is required as in-person seating is limited.

We are inviting people living with Parkinson’s and care partners in the greater Denver area to share the questions you would most like to ask an interdisciplinary Parkinson’s care team. Your questions will be used to shape a live panel discussion and ensure it reflects the real needs, concerns, and priorities of our community. You may answer as many or as few questions as you’d like, and the survey should take only a few minutes to complete.

• Click here to fill out our survey.

The survey will close on May 15, 2026, in order to share responses with speakers well in advance to allow time for thoughtful preparation and meaningful responses.
