The "Friends In Frederick" Parkinson Disease Support Group exists to offer an open and caring environment where not only those afflicted with Parkinson's Disease, but also their caregivers, family members and friends can meet to exchange information and concerns.
Speakers are scheduled to present updated information concerning treatments, therapy, nutrition, exercise and many other topics related to Parkinson's Disease.
Meetings are the third Wednesday of each month and are held at the Mount Pleasant Ruritan Club. Meetings begin at 1:00 PM.
Remember, the best patients are people who are educated about their disease.
Our June Picnic
Our June 2018 annual picnic featured cold cuts, amazing salads, fantastic desserts, and a variety of games. The legendary Potato Sack Race ran to four heats. We had BINGO and lots of time for visiting, discussing, and sharing.
Thanks to everyone who made this event possible.
