PD 101: An Introduction to Parkinson’s Disease

Hosted by the Michigan Parkinson Foundation

PD 101 is a free, in-person orientation designed to help individuals better understand Parkinson’s disease. Whether you’ve been newly diagnosed, have had Parkinson's for years, are a care partner, family member, friend, or healthcare professional, this program is open to anyone looking to learn more about Parkinson’s.

Join us for an informative and supportive session covering:

• What is Parkinson’s disease?

• What causes PD?

• Who gets PD?

• Understanding motor and non-motor symptoms

• How Parkinson’s is diagnosed

• Treatment and symptom management options

• Support and resources available through MPF

You'll also have the opportunity to ask questions and connect with others in the Parkinson’s community.
