While tremors are often the most recognized symptom, many people living with Parkinson's also experience fatigue, anxiety, sleep disturbances, constipation, and changes in thinking or mood.🧠

Understanding the full picture helps us replace assumptions with compassion and support.

Happy National Senior Citizens Day!

Today is a great reminder to check in on the older adults you love. For individuals living with Parkinson's disease, small home updates like improved lighting, grab bars, and removing tripping hazards can help prevent falls and support independence.❤️

Helping someone stay safe at home is one of the greatest gifts you can give.

Barb recently had the opportunity to speak at a Rotary meeting in Findlay, sharing Parkinson's 101 and the mission of Hancock County Parkinson's Network. We are so appreciative of this opportunity and thank you all for your interest and support!

Interested in hosting a Parkinson's 101 presentation? We'd love to connect. Learn more about our mission and contact us at hcparkinsonsnetwork.org.

These presentations help raise awareness by educating community members about what Parkinson's disease is, the symptoms people may experience, and how our organization connects individuals and families with trusted local resources, meaningful programs, and ongoing support.

We're always looking for opportunities to share Parkinson's 101 with civic groups, businesses, churches, healthcare organizations, and community groups throughout our region.

Have you noticed your voice getting quieter?

Parkinson's disease can affect speech, making it harder to speak clearly or loudly enough for others to hear. These changes often happen gradually and may go unnoticed.

The good news? Speech therapy and voice exercises can help maintain communication and confidence.

Parkinson's is more than tremors.

Some of the earliest signs can be easy to overlook, including:
• Loss of smell
• Acting out dreams while sleeping
• Constipation
• Anxiety or depression
• Smaller handwriting

Recognizing these symptoms can lead to earlier conversations and better support.
