🏃‍♂️ Parkinson Wellness Walk & 5K ⚾

For over 200 years, Parkinson Disease has been steadily growing—and recently, at an alarming rate. It is now the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world. In the U.S., Florida has the highest number of cases per capita, with over 79,000 individuals affected, contributing to the 1 million cases nationwide and 10 million globally. That number is projected to rise to 12.9 million by 2040.

🧠 About Parkinson’s Disease

Parkinson’s is a chronic, progressive, and complex multi-system disorder with no known cure. While often classified as a movement disorder, it affects much more than just physical movement, impacting mental, emotional, and autonomic functions as well.

💙 Lee Health Parkinson Program

  • Services Offered: Offering, at no cost personalized support, education, movement and exercise classes, enrichment groups, and social activities to help improve quality of life.
