Welcome to the Parkinson’s Resource Center of Spokane!

Although the hustle and bustle of the holiday season is behind us and we’re settling into 2012, the Parkinson’s Resource Center (PRC) is already busy preparing for an eventful year.  Plans for twelve educational Telehealth broadcasts are in motion, ideas for Young Onset support groups are taking shape, and preparations for the annual Shakin’ but not Stirred martini night and auction are underway – and that’s just the beginning!

The members of the Board of Directors are honored to have the opportunity to serve the Parkinson’s community.  For 2012 and every year, the mission of the PRC remains unchanged: enhance the quality of life of people affected by Parkinson’s Disease through empowerment, education, and awareness.

We have heard from several people lately that they didn’t realize the PRC has a physical location. If you find yourself near the Deaconess Health and Education Center in Spokane, stop by Suite 256 and say hello! Our Program Coordinator, Cyndi Cook, would love the pleasure of your visit, or phone call for that matter. We have computers available for your use, as well as a wealth of materials about Parkinson’s.  Additionally, if you have ideas or suggestions to help meet our mission or are able to volunteer an hour here or there, please let us know. As always, your support would be welcomed and appreciated.

Here’s to a New Year filled with wellness and positivity!
