PSGUNY strives to provide an understanding environment in which people who are experiencing Parkinsonian symptoms or medication side effects can come together to discuss common problems, learn new coping strategies and provide support and encouragement to one another.
It is the Group's hope that participants will gain a better understanding of our shared illness and will, as a result, be better able to manage its challenges.
You are invited and encouraged to visit one of our monthly support group meetings - without cost or obligation - to decide for yourself if group activity can help you take control of this strange, frustrating and life-altering disease.

Are You Ready to Move?
On Sunday, September 16, 2012, the National Parkinson
Foundation of Greater Rochester Chapter will be holding its first annual
Moving Day! Moving Day is our opportunity to unite in the fight against
Parkinson Disease and our chance to raise awareness and celebrate the
importance of movement anyway you are able. You can participate by walking
with your friends and family or participate in on one or all of many
activities planned in the Movement Pavilion. Stretching, yoga or tai
chi are just a few of the activities that will be taking place in the
Pavilion. The day will also include activities for kids, so no need
to leave them home!
Stay tuned for more Moving Day details on the new up and coming website.
On behalf of the Moving Day committee, I would like to say we look forward
to seeing everyone at our first of many successful Moving Days. Remember:
Movement is Beautiful!!
