Support for Parkinson’s

Posted

As the expansion of support for Parkinson’s moves to Little Compton, this means more support for more people living with Parkinson’s disease is available. People can choose to visit one group or both for added support where they can share personal experiences, feelings, coping strategies, and engage in many educational opportunities related to the disease — all aimed at empowering physical and mental movement toward living well with Parkinson’s disease.   

 

Parkinson’s Aquidneck Island support group

The support group meets on the second Saturday of each month at the Middletown Public Library (700 West Main Road) from 10:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. For more information about the support group and other resources, check out the pdbuzzNPT website.

Jim McGaw

A lifelong Portsmouth resident, Jim graduated from Portsmouth High School in 1982 and earned a journalism degree from the University of Rhode Island in 1986. He's worked two different stints at East Bay Newspapers, for a total of 18 years with the company so far. When not running all over town bringing you the news from Portsmouth, Jim listens to lots and lots and lots of music, watches obscure silent films from the '20s and usually has three books going at once. He also loves to cook crazy New Orleans dishes for his wife of 25 years, Michelle, and their two sons, Jake and Max.
