Banner Sun Health Research Institute will offer two free Parkinson’s disease screenings at the institute, 10515 W. Santa Fe, Sun City.
To participate, residents must register for one of the screenings and attend a one-hour lecture event also conducted at the institute.
The first lecture and registration is scheduled 3:30 p.m. Wednesday, Oct. 19, and the first screening is 1-4 p.m. Friday, Oct. 28.
The second lecture and registration is 10 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 30, and that screening is 1-4 p.m. Friday, Dec. 16.
Banner Sun Health Research invites those in the community who have not been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease and may have risk factors to participate in the free screenings. Parkinson’s disease is defined as a progressive neurologic condition that causes motor and non-motor symptoms, including tremors, rigidity, swallowing problems and constipation.
Early detection and management has a positive impact on quality of life and may prolong survival rates. Those who participate in the screening will answer a brief questionnaire and be observed by a board certified movement disorder neurologist.
