About the event
Alzheimer's and Parkinson's are neurological diseases that cause progressive damage to the brain and up to 80% of people with PD eventually develop dementia. Both can share similar symptoms that affect memory, visual perception, movement, and communication. With overlapping symptoms, it can be challenging to distinguish the differences and navigate resources for help and support.
For this reason we're partnering with the Alzheimer's Association to offer support and education for families living in southwest Missouri.
PGO will be on site at Jordan Valley Park providing information about Parkinson's disease and resources available in the Ozarks. For more information please visit: 2025 Walk to End Alzheimer's - Springfield, MO | Walk to End Alzheimer's.
