The Parkinson's Group of the Ozarks
The path you are about to take need not be traveled alone. Parkinson’s Group is based in Springfield, Missouri in the heart of the Ozarks. As a not-for-profit organization, Parkinson’s Group works tirelessly to help people with Parkinson’s Disease. A million and a half men and women have been diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease in the United States. Of these, 2,400 live in the Ozarks. Parkinson’s Disease is a slowly progressive neurological disease generally associated with tremor or trembling of the arms and legs, stiffness and rigidity of the muscles, slowness of movement, and impaired balance and coordination. As these symptoms become more pronounced, patients may have difficulty walking or completing other simple tasks. This disease not only affects the patient, but also his or her family. Parkinson’s Group provides access to Support groups for the welfare of Parkinsonians, their care partners, families and friends.
Parkinson’s Group and its supporters provided the vision to establish a clinic for Parkinson’s patients known as Parkinson’s Clinic of the Ozarks.
