Parkinson’s Support Groups at Northeast Rehab
Our Parkinson’s Support Groups help you continue your therapy after leaving NRHN and connect you with other Parkinson’s patients.
Parkinson’s Disease affects approximately 1 million people in the United States. While there is no cure, managing the disease and delaying its progression is possible. This is why we have created specialty Parkinson’s programs; we want to help you in your fight against this disease.
