Enrichment Groups for Parkinson's Disease
Until there’s a cure, there’s a community. Discover how to stay motivated and moving forward during our helpful Parkinson's Disease enrichment groups. Together, we can offer each other understanding, empathy, and camaraderie throughout the journey.
All Lee Health Parkinson's Disease enrichment groups are provided at no charge.
Young Onset Dinners
If your PD symptoms began before the age of 50, consider joining us for a Dutch treat dinner with others who’ve been diagnosed with “Young Onset” Parkinson’s disease. Held in local restaurants throughout southwest Florida, these informal get-togethers are a good time to connect with others who understand your unique challenges.
Dates and locations will vary. Contact us for details.
Care Partner Enrichment Groups
Caring for a loved one can be one of life’s greatest challenges. To be an effective care partner, it’s important to take care of yourself. Learn from the experiences of others, and encourage those who are in similar circumstances.
