Would you be willing to help a fellow Person-with-Parkinson’s Disease? We hope you will.
Frequently PSN receives inquiries from those newly diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease, as well as people who are not newly diagnosed, seeking to speak with a fellow Parkinsonian on a one-on-one basis.
If you wish to help your fellow Parkinsonians by engaging in a telephone conversation, please let the PSN Board know. With your permission, we will provide your telephone number and email address on request. We will, of course, let you know each time we share this information.
