🤝 About Parkinson's Connection

Since 2018, the Parkinson’s Connection at the Katz JCC has offered fitness classes and support groups for people with Parkinson's Disease as well as their caregivers and families. The hope was to build a program that was as accessible as possible.

• Financial Accessibility: Free as well as paid class offerings.
• Physical Accessibility: Class options offered virtually over Zoom as well as in-person at the Katz JCC.
• Functional Accessibility: Classes offered at a wide variety of levels, seated or standing (or a little bit of both) so that those at nearly any level of Parkinson’s can participate.
• Daily Accessibility: Classes offered six days a week and a virtual library accessible 24/7.

👩‍🏫 Supportive Community

Our dedicated staff of coaches works every day to make sure that none of our members fight Parkinson’s disease alone.
