"With our signature symposia, we strive to bring relevant information and support to people with Parkinson's disease, their care partners, families/friends, and healthcare professionals.

Parkinson's is a progressive brain disease that affects up to 10 million people worldwide, including one million in the United States. Locally, across both Carolinas, there are estimated to be 40,000 people with Parkinson's. Symptoms, which worsen over time, include tremors, stiffness of arms, legs, and trunk, slowness of movement, poor balance and coordination, and loss of speech.
There is no cure for Parkinson's disease - but there is hope!
