Visit Stanford’s Table:
Stanford will have a table with lots of Parkinson’s resources, including American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) educational supplements on PD symptoms (constipation, bladder issues, and fatigue) and the APDA’s “Be Active and Beyond” exercise booklet.  We’ll hand out flyers about our local PD support groups, PD caregiver support groups, an upcoming webinar on orthostatic hypotension, and Stanford exercise classes.  

Plus, Stanford staff will be there to share research opportunities for those with Parkinson’s and healthy controls.  You may even be able to participate in research right there!
