Power Through Parkinson's

At Good Samaritan, we are here for you at every stage of your Parkinson's journey. On this page you will find resources for support as you begin to build a better life with Parkinson's.

Are you newly diagnosed?

Here are some things to do after your diagnosis:

• Educate yourself about Parkinson's disease
• Join a Parkinson's support group
• Exercise often and stay active

Support Group

Good Samaritan offers a monthly support group for those living with Parkinson's disease. The goal of our support group is to help people affected by Parkinson's disease and atypical Parkinson's to live well through education and physical activities that are Parkinson's specific. This group meets the 3rd Friday of each month at 11:00 a.m. EST in the Good Samaritan Charles C. Hedde, MD Education Center. If you would like to register, please call (812) 885-3601.
