We are bringing together local expert leaders and resources to share information and connect to people living with PD, families, caregivers, and allied health professionals. The theme is Engagement. Let’s live better with this disease. Learn something new, meet new people and catch up with people you’ve not seen in a while. This event will be a combination of practical healthy living strategies, a health and wellness fair with local PD partners, and time with peers and PRO staff.

NeuroFitness for Parkinson’s

Class addresses common symptoms of Parkinson’s disease (rigidity, hand dexterity, balance, gait, posture and more). Participants stand and move about the room with chairs available for rest and balance assist as needed.

Class Instructor: Deanne Morris

Preparing for the Unexpected: Beaverton

Illness, family obligations, and medical needs can all come unexpectedly for any of us, and for those of us in crucial roles as caregivers (for ourselves or others), it is important to plan ahead.

We will assist participants as they identify steps to take to get prepared, including rallying support and identifying roles ahead of time for family and friends, finding care resources, and gathering and organizing crucial information. By taking steps to prepare and communicate with your larger network, we hope to lessen the stress of “what will happen if I can’t be there?” and “What will happen if I need help?”

This event will be in person and a packet of information will be provided at the event.
