Participants in the Meadowlark Hills Parkinson’s Program accompanied Parkinson’s Program Leader, Michelle Haub, to St. Louis to attend “Partner’s in Parkinson’s” in association with Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson’s Research.

Michelle participated on a panel addressing 600 attendees. Manhattan area attendees commented that they particularly appreciated the way in which the seminar addressed explaining the status of research and living with the disease in terms that with those with Parkinson’s could understand and apply. Our local Parkinson’s Program is becoming widely known and recognized.

Amazing research is being done and they said before the next 30 years there would be a cure—since it has been around since the 1700’s, 30 years does not seem that long
