Presented by Parkinson's Resources
Join us for a one-time educational lecture where attendees will discover meaningful ways to contribute to Parkinson's research.
If you are living with Parkinson's disease, or know someone affected, you know there is so much we do not know about the disease. Research hopes to improve the accuracy of diagnosis, find biomarkers which lead to earlier diagnosis, develop better treatments and ultimately find a cure. Local researchers from the University of Oregon need your help!
After the one-hour lecture, attendees are warmly encouraged to stay for a relaxed 30-minute social gathering—an opportunity to mingle, connect and continue the conversation.
