An annual seminar is one of the highlights of our work. Each year we have been fortunate to bring speakers with strong backgrounds in medical treatment, care giving and the human side of patients needs to bring hope and encouragement to those attending. Working closely with other community services helps find answers to some of the problems that occur with advancing Parkinson's disease. Support groups generally meet monthly although finding facilitators is sometimes a problem. Providing funding to give caregivers some respite from the strain of 24 hour care is a high priority.
