PDF and Partners Bring Leading Scientists to You

- Mar 06 2008

Responding to continuing demand from people with Parkinson’s and their families for up-to-date research information, the Parkinson’s Disease Foundation (PDF), announces a series of four educational symposia and webcasts entitled Parkinson’s Science: Innovations and New Perspectives.

The series will allow people with Parkinson’s, their families, support groups and healthcare professionals nationwide to receive scientific updates directly from leading national and local Parkinson’s authorities – both in person and via the web.

Please see below for the full listing of events, which PDF is proud to launch in conjunction with four leading regional Parkinson’s organizations: the Parkinson Association of the Carolinas, the Michigan Parkinson Foundation, the Northwest Parkinson's Foundation, and the Houston Area Parkinson Society.
