Parkinson's Orange County

Parkinson's Orange County is a vital organization dedicated to supporting individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease and their families. Founded by Lauren Simmons in response to her personal experience with a lack of resources and guidance following her diagnosis in 2016, the organization aims to connect newly diagnosed individuals with essential programs and services available in Orange County.

Since the launch of the supportive website PDBuzz.com in 2018, Parkinson's Orange County has evolved into a structured entity under the leadership of Executive Director Erin Angelo. The organization offers various services, including informational resources, support groups, fitness programs, and access to movement disorder specialists. By fostering community connections and providing critical information, Parkinson's Orange County ensures that no one faces their diagnosis alone. The organization is committed to improving the quality of life for those affected by Parkinson's Disease, advocating for awareness and support in the local community.
