Repeatedly at the Parkinson’s Support Group of Green Valley, we hear the same story from our members. It’s about how they learned that they have Parkinson’s. It usually goes something like this, “I was diagnosed ___ years ago, but I had symptoms long before then.” It wasn’t diagnosed sooner because people are not aware of the disease or the symptoms.

In the same way, many people with Parkinson’s are not aware of the Parkinson’s Support Group of Green Valley. We hope to reach those people with a media blitz during April. However, the best way to spread the news is by word of mouth. If you know someone with Parkinson’s, let them know that our support group exists. We support the partners/family members, as well as, people with Parkinson’s. www.gvparkinsons.org
