Young Onset Parkinson Disease

Although Parkinson's is often diagnosed in people who are over 60, there are people with Parkinson's who are diagnosed in their 50's, 40's or even 30's. Young Onset Parkinson Disease raises a host of questions, concerns and experiences. If you have been diagnosed with Young Onset Parkinson Disease or are close to somebody who has Young Onset PD, information and support is available from the Vermont I&R Center and from APDA's national Young Onset Center www.youngparkinsons.org.

The Young Onset Parkinson's Support Group meetings are held at various venues throughout the state of Vermont. Sometimes we have a guest speaker come to talk the group and sometimes we plan an activity we can all do together.

Please check this page to get the latest information on our meeting dates and times. If you would like more information about our support group, feel free to contact Jean Baker at jeanette.baker@vtmednet.org or 888-763-3366. We welcome new members. If there is an activity or a speaker you would like to have at one of the Young Onset meetings please let Jean know.
