SATURDAY JAN 9, 2016 |

On January 23, two of Florida’s most respected neuroscience experts will share the latest research and findings on Parkinson's disease and its treatment. Hosted by the Neuro Challenge Foundation for Parkinson’s and Sarasota Memorial Health Care System, the annual event has been recognized as one of the largest Parkinson's symposium in North America.  Parkinson's is a neurodegenerative disease that usually affects people over age 65. It is of particular concern in Sarasota County, where more than 33 percent of its residents are 65 or older. Indeed, it is estimated that more than 9,000 Sarasota County residents are affected by Parkinson's disease and that number is expected to increase as the population ages and more Americans take up residence on the Gulf Coast.  For more information, contact 941.926.6413.
