News and Events


The Parkinson's Institute is the proud beneficiary of proceeds raised at a number of special events hosted throughout the country every year by our dedicated supporters and friends. The money raised at these events is a significant portion of our budget.

The Institute also sponsors several informational events, from our very large and very popular Patient/Caregiver Symposium in San Jose (usually in March), to the smaller, but local mini-symposia.

Additionally, The Parkinson's Institute holds regular Scientific Seminars open to the public.


We encourage you to participate in any or all of our events, seminars and classes.
