Parkinson’s Awareness Events in Salt Lake City and Nearby Areas

Salt Lake City and the surrounding areas are full of exciting and impactful events in honor of Parkinson’s Awareness Month. These events are a wonderful way to show support, raise awareness, and get involved in the fight against Parkinson’s disease.

Community Engagement and Fundraising for Parkinson’s Research

Raising awareness and funds for Parkinson’s disease research is crucial, and there’s no better time to get involved than during Parkinson’s Awareness Month. Local community events, like fundraisers and charity walks, unite people to support groundbreaking research and provide a platform for sharing stories. We’re excited to be part of these events and encourage everyone to participate in fundraising efforts to help advance research and find better treatments for Parkinson’s disease.

Moving Day Salt Lake City

Another fantastic event coming up is the Parkinson’s Disease Education Symposium, set for April 19, 2025.

With experts in the field providing valuable information, it’s the perfect place to connect with others and stay informed. We’re excited to be part of this educational experience and encourage you to attend!

Parkinson’s Support Groups in the Community

Support groups are a vital resource for anyone affected by Parkinson’s disease, providing a safe space to share experiences, learn from others, and find comfort in knowing you’re not alone. 

West Jordan has several local Parkinson’s support groups, and we’re proud to be a part of that network. Whether you’re a patient, caregiver, or family member, these groups offer invaluable emotional support and practical advice.

PMD Alliance Support Groups 

PMD Alliance is an excellent resource for Parkinson’s patients and their families. It offers support groups that meet regularly throughout the year. These groups help individuals navigate the challenges of Parkinson’s while connecting with others who understand their journey. 

At Always Best Care, we encourage everyone affected by Parkinson’s to check out these groups for community support, information, and a chance to bond with others facing similar experiences.

University of Utah Movement Disorder Support Groups

The University of Utah Movement Disorder Support Groups are another great resource for West Jordan. These groups are led by professionals who understand the complexities of Parkinson’s disease and provide both educational support and a space for people to share their experiences. 

Whether you’re newly diagnosed or have been living with Parkinson’s for years, these groups offer helpful resources and a sense of camaraderie.

Exercise and Wellness Programs for Parkinson’s Patients

Exercise is a key part of managing Parkinson’s disease, and staying active can make a world of difference for patients. Several local programs are dedicated to providing Parkinson’s patients with the opportunity to stay fit and healthy. These programs help manage symptoms and boost overall well-being and quality of life. At Always Best Care, we encourage participation in these fitness programs and believe in the movement’s power to fight Parkinson’s disease.

Rock Steady Boxing

One of the most exciting exercise programs for Parkinson’s patients is Rock Steady Boxing. This unique program offers Parkinson’s patients the chance to “fight back” against their disease through fitness. 

Rock Steady Boxing has improved strength, balance, and coordination, making it an excellent way to help patients manage their symptoms. We’re huge supporters of this program and love seeing its positive impact on participants. Get ready to punch Parkinson’s out of your life!
