KINGSFORD — The Parkinson Society of Dickinson County Area once again will host Dr. Steven Schechter, a neurologist from West Bloomfield, at the support group meeting Thursday.  

Check-in will begin at 10 a.m. at the First Presbyterian Church on Hamilton Avenue in Kingsford. Coffee will be available.

Schechter will speak on the medication Xadago, which the FDA recently approved for use with Parkinson’s disease patients.

After lunch, Schechter again will direct a yoga routine done in a seated position, as he is a certified yoga instructor.

A free lunch will be provided by Stephanie Belf of U.S. World Meds.

All area Parkinson’s patients and their caregivers are welcome. “We hope to see a full house attending this informative and enjoyable meeting,” facilitator Pauline Hill said.
