Parkinson’s Disease is expected to double by 2040. That’s why co-founder Connie Urbanek and her partner Shana Gatschet started Club Parkinson’s.
Club Parkinson’s is a wellness and therapeutic group for those who are diagnosed with the disease. Club Parkinson’s is staffed with licensed physical and occupational therapists and a psychologist. All therapists must be certified in Parkinson’s certified therapy — Parkinson’s Disease is a movement disorder that affects the central nervous system.
Urbanek who is a physical therapist assistant and Gatschet who is an occupational therapist came up with the idea to start Club Parkinson’s after attending a continuing education course and learning how common the disease is.
