Dear CAPS Membership,

April is Parkinson’s Disease Awareness Month—a time to elevate understanding, reduce stigma, and highlight the resources and community support available to those affected. Throughout April and every month, CAPs is hard at work serving our community with education and support at each step of your story. Pull out your calendar and join us for some of our ‘Don’t Miss’ events in April.

On Friday, April 17, the Capital Area Parkinson’s Society invites you to join us for the Living Well with Parkinson’s Summit, a half-day educational event designed to inform, empower, and connect individuals living with Parkinson’s disease, along with their care partners and families.

Taking place from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., this thoughtfully curated summit brings together leading healthcare professionals and community organizations to provide clear, practical guidance on navigating life with Parkinson’s. Whether you are newly diagnosed or have been managing the condition for years, this event offers valuable insights tailored to every stage of the journey.

In the same spirit, the Capital Area Parkinson’s Society is also launching two new support groups. Please see below for details.

I hope to see you at a CAPS event this month!
