PSCNN 4th Annual Movement Fair | PSCNN The PSCNN ‘Movement Fair’ is an opportunity for people with Parkinson’s disease to learn about exercise options available in northern Nevada. ​Meet coaches and instructors for boxing, yoga, chi gung, tai chi, dancing, physical therapists, wellness coaches and many others!

Based on what people were eating in the 30 days before joining our study, we were able to predict their rate of subsequent PD progression over the following 10 years.

Join us— learn what’s on the list, why it’s on there, and how to build a diet around it.
