Regional Educational Meetings
| One of the primary goals of PSBC is to provide up-to-date information on topics such as adapting to new diagnosis, medication, surgical treatment of Parkinson's and effective complementary therapies such as nutrition, exercise and coping strategies. At an educational meeting, held in various areas of the province, an expert healthcare professional is invited to give a presentation on a specific topic with ample time for questions from the audience. |
