February 20 Meeting at 1:00 p.m.
Cross Keys Village is offering its Parkinson’s Thursday education and support groups, in the Encore Room (Harmony Ridge, 620 Harmony Drive, New Oxford PA), on the third Thursday of each month. The goal of the group is to empower people with Parkinson’s, care partners, family and friends by offering education on specific topics, followed by peer support. Parkinson’s Thursday is open to all at no cost. The meetings are facilitated by Erin Nelson, Director of Memory Support at Cross Keys Village. Seating is limited and reservation is preferred. Please call Erin at (717) 624-5403.
The format of each meeting is as follows:
- 1:00-2:00 p.m. – Educational seminar on a specific topic
- 2:00-2:15 p.m. – Break
- 2:15-3:15 p.m. – Peer support
On February 20, Dr. Drew Falconer, Movement Disorder Specialist at Inova Neurology in Alexandria, VA will present an overview of Parkinson’s medications and report on some new products.
Please note: The February meeting is the last meeting in the Encore Room. Parkinson’s Thursday will relocate to the new Lifespring building starting with the March 20 meeting.
Living with Parkinson's
Parkinson’s Disease is a progressive motor system disorder that interferes with activities of daily living. There is no cure but rapid scientific progress is leading to greater understanding and new Parkinson’s medications, treatment and technology. Our goal on this page is to empower people with Parkinson’s – at Cross Keys Village and in the greater community – and their care partners, by offering cutting-edge PD management information.
In this short PBS interview titled Why Women With Parkinson’s Are Misdiagnosed, Dr. Soania Mathur, Parkinson’s disease advocate and family physician, talks about symptoms in women presenting differently than in men and how these differences can lead to late or wrong diagnoses.
