On Wednesday, April 5th, more than 70 people living with Parkinson’s and their care partners gathered at Russell Medical’s Professional Services Building in the Hardee Meeting Room.
The event featured many local resources for nearby residents, and members of the Sylacauga and Auburn Support Groups also were in attendance for the event.
Attendees were able to hear from Russell Medical’s Paula Davenport and Kimberly Carter who provided attendees with many exciting updates on the expansion of Russell Medical’s new endeavors, including a new independent living community. Brooklyn White, Program Director and Care Navigator for the Parkinson Association of Alabama (PAA) followed with a presentation about how the PAA can provide resources through www.parkinsonalabama.info and care navigation services. Cara Holt, Tidwell Fitness & Wellness Coordinator led the group in some key movement and exercises as well.
Lunch was catered by the Wharf restaurant and attendees were provided with an update from Senior Director of the Gulf Coast Chapter of the Parkinson’s Foundation, Stacey Faber. She was followed by the keynote speaker and author, Greg Ritscher’s presentation which provided optimism, hope and encouragement to fellow attendees living with Parkinson’s. Attendees were also treated to FREE, autographed copies of his book, “Rising Above Parkinson’s.”
The day concluded with Carolyn Goza-Harris, facilitator for the Central Alabama Support Group and Kat West, facilitator for the Auburn Sylacauga Support Group sharing their own personal journeys with Parkinson’s and providing an overview of the programs and activities each of their support groups provide.
All in all, the day was packed full with content during this four-hour event. It was truly made possible by head coordinator, Steve Sain and his right arm and daughter, Monica Sain who provided the coordination and funding to support the event.
If your support group would be interested in hosting a similar regional seminar on Parkinson’s in your area, please contact PAA Director of Programs, Brooklyn White at brooklyn@parkinsonalabama.org. Currently, we are working on a plan to host a Parkinson's seminar in Gadsden in September.
Good Morning!! My name is Justin Simporios from Canada. My daughter was unable to walk for several months after an accident that required her to have surgery. Because I haven't won the Lotto I've been playing for so long, I haven't been able to pay for the surgery. A friend online recommended Lord Meduza to me and he deserves a really, really big THANK YOU. This man chose to help me with a lottery spell and he gave me the precise numbers to play the Canada Lotto Max Lottery. After two weeks, I was proclaimed the winner of $80 MILLION DOLLARS. Now, my daughter will be able to walk once more after so much time as her surgery is now…
I battled Multiple Sclerosis for 6 years, trying countless conventional treatments without success. My younger brother also suffered from Parkinson’s disease for 9 years. Doctors told us there was no cure for either condition. Everything changed when we discovered Dr. Madida Sam through www.earthcureherbalclinic.com. With the help of Dr. Sam, his team, and co-doctors, both my MS and my brother’s Parkinson’s symptoms were completely reversed and cured. We are truly grateful to EarthCure Herbal Clinic for giving us our lives back.

When my husband was diagnosed with dementia four years ago, it was heartbreaking to watch his memory fade and his independence slip away. For over two years, he was on conventional medications, but his symptoms only got worse he became more forgetful, confused, and dependent.Out of desperation and hope, we decided to try a herbal treatment program from NaturePath Herbal Clinic. Honestly, we were skeptical at first, but within a few months, the changes were remarkable. His clarity improved, he became more alert, and gradually regained confidence and calm.It’s been a life-changing experience not just for him, but for our whole family. If your loved one is struggling with dementia, I truly recommend looking into their natural approach. Visit www.naturepathherbalclinic.com.
