Members then have a chance to share significant happenings in their lives and/or something about Parkinson's Disease that they believe would be of interest to the group. Following this, we frequently have a speaker whose topic relates to health or living concerns of Parkinsonians and their carepartners. You can expect a lively question and answer session following the speaker's presentation. |
Following the speaker, Parkinsonians have a choice of an exercise program led by Tammy Steele, a physical therapist specializing in exercise and movement or a smaller group meeting with other Parkinsonians. Caregivers meet in their own support group, allowing them to freely share their thoughts on living with and assisting a Parkinsonian. Free refreshments follow and more discussion is encouraged. Meetings conclude at 4:00 p.m., making this a jam-packed two hours of information, fun, exercise and sharing.
