The Benicia Parkinson’s Support Group was founded to help those in our area who are
impacted by this complex neurodegenerative disorder. It is open to all with
Parkinson’s, their care partners, friends and family. No membership fee is charged,
and no annual dues are required.
At our meetings we share stories of our challenges and also those funny moments.
We learn from and support each other as we navigate life with this neurodegenerative
disease. Sometimes there is laughter, sometimes tears. Our information sources about
Parkinson’s are guest speakers, educational programs, and one another. We understand
that people have unique experiences with differing symptoms and rates of change.
It is also our job to raise awareness about Parkinson’s disease in the surrounding
community, helping people understand and support those with Parkinson’s disease.
The Support Group meets monthly on the second Saturday from 10 A.M. to noon at the
Benicia Lutheran Church at 201 Raymond Drive. The Care Partners Group meets monthly
on the third Saturday from 2 P.M. to 4 P.M. also in the Church.
The Benicia Parkinsons Support Group is a member of the Parkinson Association of
Northern California (PANC).
We gratefully accept financial gifts to support our
group on the PANC website by indicating the Benicia Support Group in the Tribute
name field for online donations.
PANC is a 501 (c)(3) nonprofit organization with tax ID #68-037203.
