Parkinson's Awareness Month  
   
With April designated as Parkinson’s Awareness Month, we have created two articles that explain how to manage the symptoms, as well as how to make everyday life tasks easier.  This month’s Senior Corner explains how exercise can benefit those with Parkinson's disease and this month's F.I.T.T. Column discusses assistive technology.

Nutrition Spotlight  
   
Our Five-Dinner Grocery Bag series was created to help individuals with a spinal cord injury shop for and prepare five meals that can be created from only one or two grocery bags.  A farmers market can be a great source of fresh, local, seasonal ingredients.  To learn which meals you can cook using delicious spring produce read the Spring Edition.
