2020 APDA Virtual Parkinson’s Education Forum

A Very Special Thank you to our Sponsors:

APDA Oklahoma Annual Symposium is Now Virtual!

This event is a virtual event that is held over a five day period from 11a-12:30p each day that offers an important opportunity for friends, families, and individuals coping with Parkinson’s to learn more about Parkinson’s disease through a group of highly respected medical professionals in the PD field.

Now that the event has become virtual, individuals impacted by Parkinson’s and their families from the entire state of Oklahoma (and even around the world) can participate!  All you need is a computer and access to the internet.

We hope you will join us as we provide a robust agenda and continue to provide inspiration, hope, and a great sense of community to those affected by PD!
