April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month!
Every year in April, organizations around the world join together to raise awareness and understanding about Parkinson’s.
This year, our Parkinson community of people living with Parkinson’s, their families, and friends, will gather on April 11, World Parkinson’s Day for our annual conference. Details at ipmdc.org/2026conference.
We’re also launching a new program every Friday called Maintain Your Brain with John Dean, MA CCC-SLP. Details at ipmdc.org/maintainbrain
We recently added Parkinson-friendly hiking outdoors thanks to our program partners, Michelle and Chris Viggiano at AIM Human Performance who are partnering with Pass to Pass.
Until there’s a cure, IPMDC will continue to provide you with up to date information through our programs. We invite you to explore ipmdc.org where you’ll find online libraries on a variety of topics, as well as information about our online and in-person exercise classes. With over 125 regular programs each month, online and in-person, educational, exercise, social and supportive . . . we’re sure there’s something for everyone to stay active and engaged!
To help support our programs so we can continue to offer them at no cost to our community, please visit ipmdc.org/donate.
