January 2020 Webinars about Parkinson’s

January 6, 2020 By Parkinson's Community Help

You can participate in a web-based seminar — or webinar — from the privacy of your home.  Join either live or view the archived version within a few days of the live webinar (in most cases).  Our policy is to share only webinars that are offered free to our community; that reflect a broad, science-based point of view; and that do not present a single solution (whether medical, surgical or other intervention) to the topic under discussion.. All times listed are Pacific Time. Here are webinars that may be of interest to those living with Parkinson’s in January 2020…
