Parkinson’s Resource Organization (PRO) and The Michael J. Fox Foundation (MJFF) are partnering for the first time to present “Parkinson’s Today: An Educational Symposium” for Coachella Valley residents and visitors on Saturday, February 8th, 2025. The free half-day event will present three panels of subject-matter experts to discuss the latest in Parkinson’s treatment, policy, and Caregiving at UC Riverside Palm Desert Center in Palm Desert, CA.

Parkinson’s is the fastest-growing, second-most common neurodegenerative disease in the world, and the incidence of Parkinson’s is higher in Southern California than other parts of the country. Nearly one million people in the U.S. are living with Parkinson’s, including an estimated 8-10,000 individuals in Coachella Valley.

While the severity of symptoms varies depending on the individual and the stages of the disease, there are many approaches to improving quality of life for those affected. From caregiving to Therapy to surgical interventions, sharing information and resources provides immeasurable value for people with Parkinson’s, their families, and caregivers.

The event is free to attend and pre-registration is required. Recordings of the Symposium will be released online for those unable to attend in person.
