Program Chair Dr. Juan Sanchez-Ramos

The Parkinson Research Foundation presented a conference to share information about the PRF Center of Excellence at the University of South Florida, and to provide Parkinson's disease patients and caregivers in southern Florida with an opportunity to learn about the latest drugs and treatments for Parkinson's disease that can enhance their lives. A secondary objective is to provide a forum for patients and caregivers to share their concerns and successes with Parkinson's experts and other local patients.

The 1-day program offered general session presentations throughout the day, exhibition sessions during the sponsored snack breaks, and a question and answer session at the end of the day for full interaction and discussion between participants and speakers.

Topics that were discussed at the conference included:

           Non-motor Symptoms of Parkinson's Disease

           Intro to Wii as a Therapy Aid

           New Treatment Strategies for Parkinson's Disease

           Future Hope for Parkinson's Disease   

           Use It or Lose It

           Advances in Surgery for Parkinson's Disease

           Voice Aerobics

           Nutrition and Parkinson's Disease
