While the risk of exposure/infection likely remains low for the general public, we have made the decision to err on the side of caution and postpone the Parkinson's IQ + You events in South Florida, Chicago and the Bay Area.
While we hate to disappoint our community, your health and comfort are our top priorities. Our team is working to reschedule these events for dates to be determined later this year or early in 2021; please look out for future communications as we know more.
We apologize for any inconvenience. If you have questions, please contact us at (800) 708-7644.
