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.

Thank You Fox Rehab

Our thanks to our May speakers from Fox Rehab. They provide physical therapy, in the home, even if the patient is not homebound. They are also certified for Big and Loud.

April Speaker was Dr. Laura Brosbe

Our thanks to Frederick Movement Disorder Specialist Dr. Laura Brosbe for speaking at our April 18, 2018 meeting. We had a great time as she addressed a wide variety of topics and took questions from the group.
