Parkinson Social NetworkWhat is PARKit?
We’ve created a Parkinson’s Awareness Resource Kit (PARKit) to give to people who are newly diagnosed, or new to support groups or our cafes. We’ve included information from national Parkinson organizations and local community resources with a focus on living well.
Below you’ll find an electronic version. We hope that it will help you to find answers to help you to make the most of your life with Parkinson’s.
