Parkinsons Wellness Project to host two educational events
The Pomona-based Parkinsons Wellness Project (PWP) is hosting a pair of wellness events designed to promote better awareness, education, and social interaction for people with Parkinson”™s Disease (PD).
The events are “Wellness Resources for Newly Diagnosed,” which will be held on Feb. 5 from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Suffern, and “PD Reset” on March 12, also from 9:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Suffern. Both events will teach best practices in coping with PD and will feature educational information from movement disorder specialists and other medical experts.
“As more people and younger people are diagnosed with Parkinson”™s Disease, there is a critical need to provide education about the tools they need to navigate through the symptoms of PD,” said PWP Co-director Susan Lust. “We are excited to host these events for those experiencing PD and their care partners so they can hear from top experts in the field. Learning about PD and what you can do about it can have a dramatic effect on managing life with Parkinson”™s.”
