The Parkinson's Outreach Program is a service specializing in the therapeutic management of persons suffering from Parkinson's disease or Parkinsonism. This program provides physical, occupational and speech therapy specifically designed to assist those with functional disabilities resulting from Parkinson's. The program is comprehensive in nature providing services customized to each individual.

The day program meets three times per week for an average of six weeks, depending on the individual's specific needs. We provide a treatment program one-on-one with a therapist. Our therapists are skilled in working with Parkinson's patients to improve balance, help with freezing and teach adaptive skills to help the individual remain active, independent and cope with activities of daily living with minimal assistance. We provide education and training for families and caregivers.

We have a free aftercare program to encourage patients to continue to exercise with the therapists and for social support. All therapies and therapists are provided by Access Quality Therapy Services in office space they have donated to POP, and also billing Medicare and some secondary insurance providers.
