Summit for Parkinson's annual Autumn Conference will be held September 30-October 1, 2022 in Missoula, MT. A virtual option will also be available!
Receive the latest resources, information on Parkinson’s, treatment options, exercise, nutrition and connect with others at our FREE Autumn Conference.
We are joined by providers and professionals from the Comprehensive Movement Disorders Program for Northern CA, Kaiser Permanente, the Brian Grant Foundation, Community Hospital, Providence St. Patrick Hospital, Partners in Home Care and other local professionals and Parkinson’s teams. Throughout the two days we will explore how knowledge, exercise, nutrition and connection can be utilized as powerful tools for those dealing with the impact of the disease.
This is an excellent opportunity to connect and meet others living with Parkinson’s and to pursue living dynamically through available resources.
ATTENDING OPTIONS
We understand there is a great value in hosting an in-person conference as well as having a virtual option to keep everyone safe and making choices that fit their needs. The conference is FREE and the virtual option is live and interactive so you won’t have to sit and watch pre recorded videos. Once we open registration on August 29th, we will also list several group watch options across the state.
We hope this helps you while maintaining your safety.
