Description
We are here with two local seniors with Parkinson's Disease, Irenea and Maria, who have agreed to help us develop new health promotion and awareness programming. Accompanying Irenea is her daughter Debra, and accompanying Maria is her husband, Mehran. We aim to educate our audience about what it is like for older people living with this chronic condition. Andrew, the Rec Centre Program Director, Taylor, public health nurse and Leah, mental health and social worker, will be leading our dialogue. Enjoy the presentation. Thank you, Group Two.
