Parkinson’s IQ + You is a series of free in-person and virtual events from The Michael J. Fox Foundation designed to empower patients and care partners to manage the disease, learn about the latest research and connect with local resources. These events are fully accessible and are designed for people at every stage in their journey with Parkinson's. To ensure a spot, we encourage early registration.
Parkinson's IQ + You Virtual
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, we offered a 1-hour online event to help you and your loved ones navigate life with Parkinson’s.
The Doctor Will See You Now…Virtually explains telemedicine and offers tips on how you can make the most of a virtual visit with a doctor.
Due to COVID-19, The Michael J. Fox Foundation will not host any in-person Parkinson’s IQ + You events in 2021. We hope to schedule in-person events in 2022 when it is safe to do so. We will update the community on registration opportunities for future events and we thank you for your continued interest.
In the meantime, join one of our virtual events or webinars. And watch our events anytime on demand.
