ROANOKE YOUNG AT HEART

Our aim is to provide assistance to as many people as possible in the greater Roanoke area who are affected by Parkinson's disease and to encourage the development of more resources to help both patients and caregivers. We look forward to having a chance to share information and concerns with you... The focus of our group is offering information about Parkinson's Disease, treatment options, and related issues. The group provides an easy way to connect with others who are experiencing what you are going through. You will value the interesting interchange between fellow members, and you will be able to ask questions about how others deal with PD (and probably offer tips from your own experiences). Connecting with others is an effective way to learn to cope with the day-to-day realities of this disease. Just knowing that you are not alone and being able to talk with others who are "walking the walk" is therapeutic in itself... Why a Support Group? A support group can assist many people..
