Over 1.5 million people in the U.S. suffer from Parkinson's disease (PD). PD is an incurable progressive disease.

A few of the PD symptoms are: tremors, difficulty walking, falling, depression, hypotension, stiffness, and cognitive decline.
Come join local Valley leaders in the Parkinson's disease (PD) community as they spread awareness about this disease. Visitors are welcome to tell their personal stories in living with PD.
Scheduled speakers are:
Dr. Padma Mahant, MD, Board certified in Neurology with specialized training in Parkinson's and Movement Disorders. Dr. Mahant sees patients at the Movement Disorders Center at Banner Good Samaritan Hospital.
