Parkinson's Disease

Parkinson’s disease is a disorder that affects nerve cells in a part of the brain that controls muscle movement.  Parkinson’s usually begins around age 60, but it can start earlier and it is more common in men than in women.  Although there is no cure, a variety of medicines sometime help symptoms dramatically.  Neil R. Holland, MD, Neurology and Electrodiagnostic Medicine, Monmouth Medical Center, will discuss Parkinson’s symptoms, diagnosis and treatment options in this informative session.  This program, for ages 60 and older, will take place at Howell Senior Center, located at 241 Preventorium Road in Howell. Registration is required by calling 732-938-4500, Ext. 2554
