A free, open-to-the-public seminar will be held Tuesday to spread information on Parkinson’s disease.

Speakers from the Golden Valley-based Struthers Parkinson’s Center, a national leader in Parkinson’s treatment, support and research, will be at the Albert Lea Senior Center from 9:30 to 11:30 a.m. The speakers will provide an update on symptoms, treatment and strategies for coping with Parkinson’s.

The seminar is sponsored through a collaborative project with the Albert Lea Parkinson’s Support Group, Struthers Parkinson’s Center and the Parkinson Association of Minnesota.

The National Parkinson Foundation estimates that one in 100 Americans older than 60 and two in 100 older than 70 are diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease. About 1 million Americans live with the disease, 50,000 new patients each year. About 15 percent of diagnosed patients are younger than 50.

The Albert Lea Senior Center is at Skyline Plaza, 1739 W. Main St.
