Parkinson's Support Group meeting circle at John Knox Village

JKV Fitness Manager Erik Nenortas leads the Parkinson’s Support Group in discussion

 

Pompano Beach — The mood in the room was upbeat.  Not one trace of defeatism could be felt within this small John Knox Village Support Group.

The positive attitude displayed by group members on this Wednesday afternoon, belied by the seriousness of the diagnosis each in the room carries: Parkinson’s disease, a potentially debilitating neurological impairment.

Leading the John Knox Village Parkinson’s Support Group in discussion and exercise was Erik V. Nenortas, John Knox Village’s fitness and wellness manager.  A hand-held mike is passed around so everyone can provide input and share their experiences.
