The Parkinson’s Association of Southwest Florida is a community organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for people affected by Parkinson’s disease and related neurodegenerative conditions. It supports individuals, families, and care partners through proven programs and services that educate, enrich, and empower its community. Membership is free and open to people with Parkinson’s or other neurological conditions, their families, and care partners.

The association offers free in-person and virtual activities across Southwest Florida, including movement and balance classes, support groups, speech and swallowing exercises, educational talks, wellness classes, and social activities. Its resources also help people learn about Parkinson’s, find local support, explore research and clinical trials, and access information for living well with the condition.

Through practical services, shared experiences, and accessible learning opportunities, the association helps participants stay active, build connections, and navigate life with Parkinson’s.
