The Parkinson Association of the Rockies has been serving the Rocky Mountain community for over 25 years. Formed in 1981, PAR is considered a valuable resource for those with the disease and to those who care for them. PAR provides a myriad of direct care services including 30 support groups, in-home case assessment and exercise instruction, and an information and referral hotline. Educational literature and seminars provide information on every aspect of the disease, including medications, common treatments and caregiver tips. Our equipment loan program consists of specialized durable medical equipment available to the member at no cost.
PAR's future programming includes expansion to regions in the state which are currently underserved. Your contributions will help us realize these opportunities to reach more people with the disease.
EXERCISE PROGRAMS
Exercise is one of the most important things a Parkinson patient can do to not only relieve symtpoms, but improve balance and coordination. PAR offers exercise groups throughout the Denver area. Strength building exercises, light aeorbics and yoga all give a Parkinson patient another tool to ease symptoms.
