MaineHealth Lincoln Hospital’s Parkinson’s Support Group will feature a presentation on improving balance and preventing falls at its next session on Thursday, Feb. 5 at 2 p.m. in the community room at Chase Point Assisted Living.

Alexandra DeRosia, MaineHealth Lincoln Hospital physical therapist, will also discuss balance challenges that many people with Parkinson’s disease experience.

Her clinical work focuses heavily on neurological conditions and balance-related concerns, and she regularly presents to community groups and at educational programs.
