Jo Rosen, Founder and President of Parkinson’s Resource Organization (PRO) holds Roundtable with Local Parkinson’s Support Group

Support groups share information, answer questions and provide emotional support

The Parkinson’s Resource Organization (PRO) meets monthly (on the 4th Tuesday of each month) to provide a forum to share information, to identify available resources and to provide solutions for the needs of the people within the Parkinson’s community.  Jo Rosen, the Founder and President of PRO will be the featured speaker and will lead a roundtable discussion to provide updates, to determine issues and concerns and to identify methods to continue to be the PRO Resource for people with Parkinson’s, their families and caregivers.  

            “Parkinson’s Resource Organization continually strives to identify and obtain information from experts who can help sustain independence and provide an extended quality of life for individuals with Parkinson’s,” states Jo Rosen.  “Educational support groups provide an invaluable forum for obtaining new information, as well as reinforcement for better understanding.”

            If you have Parkinson’s or know someone who does, attend the PRO Manhattan Beach Support Group on Tuesday, January 24, 2017 at 6:30 PM.  The meeting location is
Parish House of American Martyrs Catholic Church, 659 15th St, Manhattan Beach, CA 90266.  There is no charge; however, reservations are requested.  Please call Parkinson’s Resource Organization (PRO) 877-775-4111 (toll free).

            Parkinson’s disease affects approximately two out of every 1,000 people and most often develops after the age of 50.  It affects both men and women and is one of the most common neurological disorders of the elderly.  There is no known cause and there is no cure.

            Parkinson’s Resource Organization (PRO) is a nonprofit, charitable organization working so no one is isolated because of Parkinson’s by disseminating information about Parkinson’s disease, providing educational and emotional support to the families of Parkinsonians through a network of support groups. “PRO” occupies a unique place among Parkinson’s groups by focusing on caring for the caregivers.  You can reach the offices of PRO at (760) 773-5628 or (877) 775-4111 (toll free), 74-090 El Paseo, Suite 104, Palm Desert, CA. 92260, or click on www.parkinsonsresource.org for information on programs.
