Who We Are

 

We are those who live in The Villages, Florida, and surrounding communities, who have Parkinson’s disease (PD). We may number 1,500 or more based upon the demographics of those living here that are over the age of 60.

We are care partners. Since most people with PD also have a care partner, 3,000 folks total live with the disease every day, 24 hours a day.

We are professional medical personnel that service the PD population.

We are caregivers, including family members, friends, and paid personnel.

We are those that freely give our time to run support groups.

We are those that prepare written material for the local PD community, to include various reference documents, and even a published PD book.

We include one resolute person who publishes a comprehensive weekly Parkinson’s newsletter for those living in The Villages or surrounding communities.

We include several ambassadors that represent the various Parkinson’s foundations.

We include retired professionals that liaison with local hospitals to improve PD in-patient care and to distribute medical kits from the Parkinson’s Foundation to those with PD.

We are those that arrange social activities, to include an annual PD cruise.

Become a “We”. You will be welcomed into our community.
