MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT - JULY 2020

Jeepers Creepers! July 2020 already. The roses should be in bloom so let’s stop and smell them, especially now in these uncommon, unprecedented, uncertain and uninvited times. 

   We now have in excess of 20 videos on Things To Know RIGHT NOW on our YouTube channel. Our readers have informed us of how grateful they are to have these snippets of information available to them. Check them out, each a resource worth knowing about. We are so grateful to all of the wonderful PROfessionals in our WELLNESS VILLAGE and we’ve just added a few more. The new ones are featured on the Wellness Village home page.

   We are zooming through this year it seems, we held, all Zoom, 5 Partners In Care meetings, 5 Round Table meetings, and 2 Village Meetings in June. The last Village Meeting will be posted as a “pay per view” item on the website. The information is so necessary for people with Parkinson’s because it talks about falling, balance and Neurogenic Orthostatic Hypotension, and an autonomic dysfunction of orthostatic hypertensions. The video includes information about Real Estate and Deep Brain Stimulation. The value is having an expert ask the presenters questions for the audience’s benefit. ALL ROUND TABLE MEETINGS are closed July and August. There will be one VILLAGE MEETING on July 15th about Quality Of Life. Watch your eMails. We will hold Partners In Care meetings all summer.

   The ROAD TO THE CURE is moving slowly back into the lab.
