Helpful, hopeful and monthly
Whether you have recently received a diagnosis of Parkinson's
disease, have been living with it for a short time or have been
managing the disease for many years, your Peninsula Parkinson's
Support Group offers strategies on how to deal with challenges,
enhance your health and wellness and maintain your quality of
life to the highest degree possible. You have the opportunity
to see how your experience, while unique to your particular
situation, is part of a larger world of similar circumstances
and people. Simply put, you realize that you are not alone.
This month there will be two members of the
Riverside Physical Therapy and Speech staff on hand
to provide valuable information and give demonstrations
