Caregiver skill-building classes

It is important for family members to receive timely and accurate health education and information. To meet the needs of caregivers, Struthers Parkinson's Center has designed a series of "skills building" classes that offer practical training and instruction. The classes are offered at the center and in communities throughout our regional service area.
