Parkinson’s?
Have you or someone you know been diagnosed with Parkinson’s disease? A support group can be very helpful in adjusting to the new reality. It’s also a source of up-to-date information and a place to hear others’ experiences with various treatments. The sharing of information and experiences in our group empowers people with PD. We are a support group in Chico. People with Parkinson’s and their caregivers meet monthly, often hosting a guest speaker. We also publish an informative free email newsletter, Movers & Shakers.

Challenge — Acknowledge and face the facts.
-
Humor — Find and revel in the absurd.
-
Empowerment — Refuse to surrender your life and relationships to PD.
-
Collaboration — Team with your family, friends, and healthcare providers.
-
Knowledge — Know the difference between myth and fact and keep up with the latest developments.
-
Integration — Treat the body, mind, and spirit.
-
Never give up!
