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.
April is Parkinson's Disease Awareness Month. There are over 45,000 people in Maryland with Parkinson's Disease, including over 800 in Frederick County Maryland.
