Many people know that Parkinson’s affects twice as many men as women. But did you know that their clinical features, their progression, and the way they experience living with PD is also different?  For this special virtual event APDA Northwest Chapter will convene a panel of two men and two women, all living with Parkinson’s disease, for a lively discussion about gender differences in Parkinson’s.  Panelists will share their experiences and how they have become advocates for their own health. Each will share their favorite tips on working with their healthcare team to maximize quality of life.  Register now for this free American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) webinar, taking place on February 23, 10:30am PT.                                           

This American Parkinson Disease Association (APDA) webinar in December focused on tips and tricks to help everyone stick with a Parkinson’s disease (PD) exercise program. The speaker was Nick Wendel, DPT, with the APDA National Rehabilitation Resource Center for Parkinson’s Disease at Boston University.
