Parkinson's Disease Education and Support Groups
ALERT
Due to the recent cases of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) in Maryland, we are canceling our group events and meetings until further notice. This is being done to protect our patients, staff and visitors. We will announce on this page and on Facebook when classes and group events will resume as normal.
Thank you for your understanding.
At the University of Maryland Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Center, we try to keep our patients informed on the latest treatments for their disease.
