Who We Are

We are a local non-profit chapter of The National Parkinson Foundation.
We are Persons with Parkinson Disease, Care-Partners, family and friends who
are effected by Parkinson Disease in one way or another who have come together to provide information to each other and the community about Parkinson Disease its effects.

We are not a therapy group, or a 12 step program.
We are not a substitute for Medical Care
We are not a substitute for family and friends. The support of family and
friends is far too important to be replaced by a support group.

To provide peer support for Persons with Parkinson Disease Caregiver peer support
To provide a information and education to support group members, the
community and area medical professionals.
To learn from each other about this disease
