We are a community dedicated to supporting the physical, cognitive and emotional health of people with PD and their loved ones.
PD Active is a non-profit organization by and for people with Parkinson’s disease in Berkeley, Oakland, and the East Bay. It was founded by a small group of men and women with Parkinson’s a decade ago and has extended its work to a broader community by providing activities and programs to a growing population affected by PD.
- Fostering independence and dignity
- Energizing each other to stay informed, engaged, and ACTIVE
