The Parkinson Association of Alabama is here to help. Public awareness and educational opportunities will help you learn more about Parkinson’s. The more educated you are about the disease you or a family member are living with, the better decisions you will be able to make about the care you receive. Knowledge is power.
We encourage support for those affected by Parkinson’s disease through many different avenues because no single approach is right for everyone. Support groups stimulate valuable communication and togetherness with others who are just like you. These groups also provide a variety of opportunities for education and social interaction. Many support groups have featured speakers such as doctors, researchers, physical therapists, and speech therapists while others enjoy social events, recreational activities, or just plain old fun – together. The sections below describe support groups throughout Alabama. We encourage you you to reach out to these groups and find the one that’s right for you.
PAA partners demonstrate a shared passion and commitment to improving the lives of those effected by Parkinson’s disease. This synergy encourages collaboration opportunities that amplify PAA’s mission – regionally, nationally, and right here in Alabama. PAA is proud of it’s association with these global thought leaders and we encourage you to explore the bounty of information and support resources they provide to empower Parkinson’s Disease patients, caregivers, and loved ones all over the world.
The Parkinson Association of Alabama needs your support to help to fund research as well as support programs for people living with Parkinson’s disease.
Our work would not be possible without your help.
We invite you to join with us in making a difference in Parkinson’s in Alabama.
