What a Weekend! APDA West Coast Forum

The 2nd Annual APDA West Coast Parkinson’s Educational Forum took place in October in Irvine, CA. It was a special weekend of education and inspiration. People living with PD and their care partners came together to hear the latest information from PD experts, try some new movement classes (dance, yoga, tai chi), and relax and enjoy themselves. For those who missed it, links to several of the educational sessions are now available online.
