Hope is a wonderful thing.
Something to be cherished and nurtured, something that will refresh us in return.
It can be found in each of us, and it can bring light into the darkest of places.

THE PARKINSON CAFE. . . created to supplement PSGUNY’s regularily scheduled monthly support group meetings. The Cafe is designed to provide additional social, cultural and intellectual interaction for people with Parkinson’s disease during the fall and winter ... when people tend to feel shut-in or isolated.

People with Parkinson’s disease who can ambulate independently may come alone; those needing assistance must be accompanied by a care partner or aid. Care partners are welcome to attend.

NOTE: If you plan to participate in the Parkinson Cafe/HCR exercise programs you must submit a Medical Clearance form and an Informed Concent form.

Advanced registration for Parkinson Cafe events and activities is required. To register, contact Parkinson Café Chair Lynn B. Schramek by e-mail at cafe@psguny.org or by phone at (585) 234-5355. You may also join the Parkinson Café online community on Facebook
