TROY – Upper Valley Medical Center (UVMC) will host a Delay the Disease™ Seminar Saturday, Jan. 20, from 10:30 a.m. to noon in the UVMC Physician Office Building Lower Level Conference Rooms.

Delay the Disease is designed to empower those living with Parkinson’s disease by optimizing their physical function and helping to delay the progression of symptoms. It can help to:

• Proactively push back against overall disease progression using dedicated exercise therapies targeting Parkinson’s symptoms

• Empower the patient to take control of the disease with daily exercise

• Enhance participants’ lives physically, functionally and emotionally

• Restore participants’ hope, confidence and optimism
