Annapolis, MD (April 24, 2025) - On Tuesday, May 6th, at 2:00 p.m., Dawn Lewis, Development Manager for the Mid-Atlantic Chapter of the Parkinson's Foundation, will present “Parkinson's Disease." Living with Parkinson's disease can be challenging but there are many things that can be done to maintain and improve the quality of life for a loved one. This program will provide families with information to help those with Parkinson's find the balance between a proactive approach and wondering what lies ahead. This workshop will be held at the Crofton Library, 1681 Riedel Road, Crofton, MD 21114.
Also on Tuesday, May 6th, at 6:00 p.m., Family Caregiver Support Program staff will present "What Caregivers Want (and Need) to Know." Caregivers typically want to know about the specific medical condition of the person they are caring for and how the condition might progress. They are also looking at how to access support systems and resources and how to plan for the future. Most importantly, they need to know how to prioritize their own physical and emotional well-being while providing quality care. Join the Department of Aging & Disabilities Caregiver Support Program staff as we dive into these questions, as well as any other questions you bring to the session. This workshop will be held at the Severna Park Library, 45 West McKinsey Road, Severna Park, MD 21146.
