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.

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?

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.
