Over the next decade,1.5 to two per cent of the population over 60 years will live with Parkinson’s disease in North America. The South Georgian Bay (SGB) population is growing rapidly, and the demographics are aging as it attracts more residents to the area. In this decade, people with Parkinson’s in SGB are expected to double.
Living Better with Parkinson’s is a grassroots organization committed to increasing the quality of life of people living with Parkinson’s disease, and their caregivers, in South Georgian Bay. Promoting daily physical activity, advocacy and education are the primary pillars ensuring that Living Better with Parkinson’s mission is achieved.
