The public is invited to a Wellness Expo for Parkinson’s Awareness on Tuesday, April 23 from 1:00 p.m. to 4 p.m. The event will be held at the Annenberg Health Sciences Building located at Eisenhower Health (39000 Bob Hope Drive, Rancho Mirage, CA). .

A range of local resources from Parkinson’s support groups, movement disorder specialists, speech therapists, and music-based Arts in Healthcare instructors will be joining this year’s Wellness Expo for Parkinson’s Awareness.
