Connect with Medical Professionals
Throughout Thrive with Five, medical professionals representing each of the five key categories will be available in designated areas to answer questions, discuss resources and treatment options, and connect with people living with Parkinson’s and their support partners.
These informal spaces are designed for approachable, one-on-one conversations throughout the day.
