Central Ohio Parkinson Society

Welcome

We are a charitable, volunteer, non-profit organization, whose mission is to increase the quality of life of those afflicted with Parkinson's disease, their caregivers, family and others including medical professionals involved in the Parkinson's community. We attempt this goal primarily through education via a monthly newsletter, support group formation and maintenance, distribution of information packets to newly diagnosed Parkinson patients, annual symposia, and ongoing involvement with medical personnel, pharmaceutical professionals, clinical drug trials. We have written and published numerous booklets on various topics relating to Parkinson's. We also provide free speech and exercise classes for Parkinson patients. A recent endeavor of C.O.P.S. has been an increased involvement in writing and financing research grants.
