Fairfax Parkinson Friends - Support Group

Join us to meet other people with Parkinson’s and their families as we learn from local experts and encourage each other, and leave with a feeling of hope and purpose that you can get the most out of life, maintain your independence, and continue to enjoy all that life has to offer. Feel free to bring a lunch or grab a bite from the nearby Chef’s Cafe deli.

Fairfax Parkinson Friends meets in-person on the 1st Wednesday of each month from 12:30 pm to 2:00 pm. Fairfax Parkinson Friends is offered to you in partnership with Inova Parkinson's and Movement Disorders Center and Insight Memory Care Center.

In addition, Fairfax Parkinson Friends offer a Dance for PD Class in partnership with The Center for Ballet Arts next door! Join them on Wednesdays from 11:00 am to 12:00 noon before this meeting! Learn more about Dance for PD.

Please note that all attendees must be vaccinated, and masks are required indoors. Please check Insight's current protocols for any updates.
