​Parkinson Support Group of the Finger Lakes
​

Vision
​
​An increasing number of people in the Finger Lakes area are being diagnosed and treated for Parkinson's Disease. They and their care partners need support and the ability to learn more about this disease, its treatments, and related research. This support is available in Canandaigua, New York, at the Wood Library and on our Zoom programs.

​
Mission

Our mission is to educate and support individuals impacted by Parkinson's Disease in the Finger Lakes Region. 


​  Support Groups

    
Many find that a support group offers the education, hope, and information that makes this journey less difficult and more encouraging. 


At support meetings, you might find insights to questions such as:
  • What medications are available?
  • What might help with daily tasks?
  • Does exercise help?
  • Are there new research findings?
  • How can I help as a care partner?
  • What resources are available?
  • How can I deal with the symptoms?
​

"Bring Your Own Lunch"  Picnic 


Where: Outhouse Park, Canandaigua, New York
When:  Last Wednesday of July,  11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m.
What: Bring your own lunch, place settings and beverages.  We will not be requesting a "dish to share" due to health precautions.  


Our picnic will be held in the safest way possible ... outdoors, distanced, and masked if you wish, especially if you have not had your vaccine boosters.

Please, plan on bringing your own complete lunch to decrease the chance of anyone becoming infected. 

Instead of sharing food, we will share conversation ... and BINGO!


*Please, let us know if you are coming. All are welcome, but we do need a count.
