Getting to Know You

We’ve been “at this” Parkinson’s Place Las Vegas (PPLV) thing for more than two years now. We grew out of a need we saw in the Southern Nevada area - a need for the Parkinson’s community to have a place to find out what’s going on, how they can connect and improve their quality of life.

We know we’re better together and, especially, better with you! To that end, we want to get to know you. Here’s the simple way we would like to get you involved:

1) Find your group below - A) Person with Parkinson’s, B) Care Partner or C) Wellness/Medical Provider

2) Copy and paste what the question below into a blank document,

3) Answer the questions

4) Email them, along with a favorite picture of you, to: parkinsonsplacelv@gmail.com

We will post it here for everyone in the community to take the first step in getting to know you.

A) For People With Parkinson’s;

1) When were you diagnosed?

2) What was your reaction to hearing about the diagnosis?

3) Beyond Parkinson’s medication, what is the most important thing you do to take care of yourself?

4) What do you do for fun and - just as important - who do you enjoy having fun with?
