Parkinson’s Pointe is driven by people who believe deeply in one idea: that a diagnosis of Parkinson’s disease is the beginning of a new chapter, not the end of an active life. Our team — board members, staff partners, and instructors — brings together expertise in physical therapy, fitness, nonprofit leadership, and lived experience with Parkinson’s disease.
Together, we build and sustain a community where people with Parkinson’s and their care partners find the movement, mentorship, and connection that research shows can meaningfully slow disease progression.
