With April being National Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month, Greene County ISU Extension is providing a program to educate individuals about the debilitating condition.

“A Journey Through Parkinson’s Disease” is a three part course designed to teach participants about the causes and symptoms of the disease, treatments for it, and at-home therapeutic activities. According to ISU Extension, about 1 million Americans suffer from the disease, including 8,300 Iowans. Extension Human Science Specialists will lead the workshops, which can be held virtually, with some interactive lessons and discussions.

The program is free and open to the public. Contact Greene County Extension to sign up.
