It is a new year, and you may want to put a few events on your calendar. Some people like to attend Parkinson's-related events close to their home to:
- Learn about current and future Parkinson's disease treatments
- Make friends with people who know their situation
- Ask questions of the doctors and other health care professionals that attend and present
