Stanford Parkinson’s Disease and Parkinsonism (LBD, PSP, MSA, CBD) Caregiver Symposium – Saturday, July 12th

August 11, 2014 By Stanford Parkinson's Community Help

Stanford’s PD Caregiver Support Program hosted a “Parkinson’s Disease and Parkinsonism (LBD, PSP, MSA, CBD) Caregiver Symposium” on Saturday, July 12th in Foster City.

Almost 200 caregivers were there. All of the movement disorder specialist speakers, including Dr. Poston and Dr. Chuang from Stanford, received very high marks for their presentations. There were nine break-out sessions to choose from, and a wide range of exhibitors showed their resources throughout the day. Overall, the symposium received rave reviews.
