At our meetings we share the latest information using the above and learn the way others have coped so that we can make our lives better.
Having Parkinson’s Disease is not just the condition of the person diagnosed with it; it becomes the condition of family, friends and co-workers. It encompasses a wide variety of physical and emotional changes that are not easy life style adjustments.
We encourage optimism and hope by providing social contacts and sharing experiences.
In March of 1982, "Jerry" and Clarice La Marsna were concerned about people in San Luis Obispo County who suffered with Parkinson's and had no groups to turn to for encouragement and support. They were the catalysts for the start up of our fine group. They had 25 family units as charter members. They set up our By-Laws which we still follow today. The CCPSG is a non-profit corporation and is supported by donations only. Over the years we have had many fine leaders keeping our Support group strong and vibrant. We are always looking to the future with enthusiasm and hope for a cure for Parkinson's Disease.
