WE ARE HERE TO HELP
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, we work tirelessly to help people with Parkinson’s disease.
Nearly one million people in the U.S. are living with Parkinson's disease, and over 90,000 more are diagnosed each year. Many of these call the Ozarks home. 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 the 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.
