PNN is dedicated to helping individuals and families living with Parkinson’s Disease with friendship, information, personal support and advocacy for a cure. We do this through a program of Support Groups and through social and educational events.
We Care, we Share, and we Listen. And we’re always looking for volunteers to share their time and talents.

The shared stories of fellow Parkinsonians and their care partners through the Parkinson’s Network North Support Group and the excellent clinical information provided by the Group have made a significant contribution to our understanding of the disease and how to cope with it.

Susan Brinklow, MSW, from The Lighthouse Rehab Center will present “Live Your Best Life with Humor & Love” – finding levity in our daily interactions, challenges and frustrations … a perfect topic for Valentine’s Week! How humor and laughter actually physiologically help us cope. Finding new ways to connect (including how intimacy changes and acknowledging the grief.) “While caring for a loved one with a chronic health condition is a serious endeavor, remembering to laugh and interject humor into our daily lives benefits both the patient and caregiver.”
Elizabeth Muoio, PharmD, Munson Medication Therapy Management Program, will present a program focusing on the common and not so common medications used by persons with PD. Medication timing; poor response to a particular dose of a med; taking PD meds with other medications, both prescribed and OTC; contraindications to any common vaccinations will be explored.
