Dallas Arts Month is a celebration of the thriving arts community in Dallas instituted by Mayor Mike Rawlings. Misty Owens was invited to be interviewed for the project and her choreography for the Dance for PD® Crane Project Filming at Dallas Museum of Art on Friday, March 1, 2019, was included in the Mayor's video. The choreography was created for the Global PD Crane Project and will be featured along with other video submissions for the World Parkinson's Congress in Kyoto, Japan, in June 2019.
In honor of Parkinson's Awareness Month, CBS-DFW interviewed DAPS Executive Director Mike Miles, Dr. Nirav Pavasia, DAPS members John & Wanda Call, and Dance for Movement Disorders leader Misty Owens for "Plugged In To DFW". You can find videos of these interviews at https://buff.ly/2Dset2n.
Vizient volunteers and DAPS members had the opportunity to participate in breakout sessions which were snapshots of some of the classes DAPS provides those with PD, their care partners, family, and friends. It was a learning and interactive day!
DAPS and Vizient, although different in many ways, are alike in that we are in the business of caring, and we help others who are providing care to do so to the best of their abilities. In doing so, we strive to achieve positive outcomes and health benefits for those we serve.
THANK YOU to all those who participated and all those who volunteered!
