April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month, dedicated to increasing understanding of this neurodegenerative disease. Get ready for World Parkinson's Day on April 11, when everyone is encouraged to put blue lights outside to support the large numbers of people affected by PD and the need for research funding.

There is also an interesting webinar on PD and vision, and for the younger set, a discussion on employment rights. We encourage you to register NOW for anything of interest. That way, if you aren’t able to attend the live event, you will be alerted if/when the recording is available.
