Join us for this online discussion with Jim Cole, Injury Prevention Coordinator and Trauma Educator for PeaceHealth Riverbend Trauma Center. Falls are a major concern for people living with Parkinson’s disease. Research shows that approximately 60% of individuals with Parkinson’s experience at least one fall, with many experiencing recurrent falls. These incidents are a leading cause of injury, hospitalization, and loss of independence in this population. Jim is dedicated to equipping individuals and caregivers with tools to enhance safety and quality of life. Join us for an interactive time online.
