Natick, MA (March 1, 2024) – In recognition of Parkinson’s Awareness Month in April, Mary Ann Morse Healthcare Center is proud to host an LSVT Big Parkinson’s Therapy Open House on Thursday, April 25, 2024, from 4 pm to 5 pm at 45 Union Street, Natick, MA. The event will provide an opportunity for individuals living with Parkinson’s disease, their caregivers and family members, and healthcare providers to learn about LSVT Big physical therapy and its benefits.
