On behalf of the Parkinson's Walk for a Cure, we would like to express our sincere thanks to our very special guest for presenting at the July Parkinson's Support Group meeting.
The presentation gave an excellent overview with many valuable AI topics, (e.g., integration of AI into our lives, status of AI development, valuable recommendations regarding how people experiencing life with Parkinson's disease & caregivers, use of multiple AI apps to assist with the challenges found in daily life, and more ). We are grateful for Cynthia being able to join us and share her vast knowledge with us and the entire community!
We would also like to thank Peggy and Pastor Floyd for their on-going spirit and service to others and being so gracious as they continually host our group. Thank you both!
Walking the second mile - we had received a number of comments from our PD community about further sharing Cynthia's message so we asked... and she (without hesitation) graciously agreed! Cynthia had already planned a second community meeting after the support group meeting later in the week. Two towering homeruns in one week! It included a detailed and eye-opening presentation for the entire community on AI and the risks it carries for those who are in the 60+ demographic. We applaud her for her skill as an excellent presenter, communicator, her integrity, and commitment to the broader community as a person and business leader!

What The Parkinson's Fund Provides
The local Parkinson's fund managed by the Pickaway County Community Foundation (PCCF) assists those PD families in Pickaway county and the surrounding area with:
Quality of Life devices, Services and Resources
Examples of recent Quality of life (QOL) devices/services provided to those families experiencing a loved one with PD through the local Parkinson's Fund include: high-standing walkers, laser appliance for walkers when gait freezing is experienced, lift chairs, weighted utensil sets, weighted pens, plates, All OhioHealth Parkinson's Wellness classes are sponsored for persons with PD symptoms. Exercise has been proven to be one of the most effective therapies for controlling PD symptoms.
The Parkinson's fund has assisted the OhioHealth Wellness classes by purchasing equipment allowing for more personal exercises and individual instruction. Classes have grown from one small class to three levels of exercise classes due to the increased incidence of PD.
Free updated PD information is continually provided, (e.g., Clinical trials, seminars, advancement in alternate therapy - surgical and nonsurgical, access to resources for those with new diagnoses, early onset, caregiver support), mailers, an online connected PD community, and our in-person attendance at the Wellness classes,
On-going Virtual Events
Join the stanford medicine PD community (virtual events)
Every month, Stanford Parkinson’s Community Outreach produces a list of Parkinson’s-related webinars and virtual meetings with speakers.
What’s the difference between a webinar and a virtual meeting? A “webinar” has a handful of speakers at most, and attendees have both audio and video muted. A “virtual meeting” usually allows attendees to be seen and heard.
We recommend you register NOW for anything of interest. That way, if there’s a recording, as a registrant you’ll receive an email alerting you to the recording availability. Also, note that a few webinars have registration deadlines well in advance of the webinar dates.
Unless indicated, the webinar and virtual meetings listed below are:
- Times listed as PT. (We are based in California, after all.) Please make a note of the time shown during registration process for EST.
- One-hour in duration. We suggest you join five minutes before the official start time.
