Parkinson’s is Tough.

Let’s Navigate it Together.

Parkinson’s Activity Group in Laramie, WY

Our mission is to create a compassionate and empowering support group for individuals living with Parkinson’s Disease in the Laramie area. Through collaboration with local physical therapists, a social worker from Ivinson Hospital, an exercise coach, and the Parkinson’s Association of the Rockies (PAR), we aim to foster connection, provide resources, and promote well-being for our members and their families. Together, we strive to build a stronger, healthier community united by understanding and support.

Research shows that exercise is the most powerful way to slow the progression of Parkinson's Disease, offering hope and strength to those living with this condition. Yet, the challenges of navigating a neurodegenerative disease extend beyond physical health, affecting caregivers, spouses, and individuals alike. Support groups provide a lifeline—connecting people, fostering understanding, and empowering everyone touched by Parkinson's to face these challenges together.
