Parkinson's Association of West Michigan is a non-profit organization funded solely by donations. We are committed to helping Parkinson patients and their families understand Parkinson's disease because understanding is the key to living with Parkinson's.
Parkinson's Association of West Michigan is the area's clearing house for Parkinson's disease information. Our meetings feature programs on physical and speech therapy, relaxation training, and other measures which are important in learning to live with Parkinson's disease. You will also learn about home health care and you will hear presentations by neurologists and other health professionals with Parkinson's experience and training.
Parkinson's Association of West Michigan also maintains a library of materials -- accessible at our meetings or by mail -- to help Parkinson patients and their families learn as much as possible about the disease. Following our meetings we mail a newsletter for members who could not attend. Whatever you need to know about Parkinson's disease, we can help you find the answers.
Coping with Parkinson's disease places a heavy burden not just on patients, but on family, friends, and professional health caregivers as well. Again, Parkinson's Association of West Michigan can help. Many of us have friends and relatives with Parkinson's disease. We understand your anxiety, confusion, and frustration. Through Parkinson's Association of West Michigan, you will meet other Parkinson patients and learn how family members can support loved ones who have this disease.
