The Parkinson’s Circle – Empowering Women with PD

Are you a woman diagnosed with Parkinson’s in need of a tribe, circle of friends or a sounding board? Maybe you just need a shoulder to cry on? But just for a second because we have lots to do.

Are you looking for a group of supporters that can share ideas and new technologies that make life easier?

This group is open to all women diagnosed with PD who want to keep moving, keep learning and keep going until there’s a cure.

Join us the first Tuesday of each month at 6pm for our Women’s Group.

For more information, please call (317) 550-5648

We have created this open forum, where you can share, ask questions or talk about things in your journey with Parkinson’s. Thank you for joining our group, we hope you find it helpful, engaging and beneficial.
