April is Parkinson's Awareness Month, a time dedicated to raising awareness about the challenges and advancements in managing Parkinson's disease. In this special episode, we sit down with Gary Rogliano, founder and chairman of Power Over Parkinson's (POP), a nonprofit organization based in Richmond, VA. Diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2018, Gary transformed his diagnosis into a mission to support others navigating the same journey.
Through POP, Gary and his family have created a vibrant community that provides exercise, education, and socialization for people with Parkinson's. This episode explores Gary's inspiring story, from his successful business career to his passionate advocacy for Parkinson's care. We discuss the importance of exercise in managing symptoms, the impact of community support, and his vision for a future where people with Parkinson's have access to comprehensive care beyond medical treatment.
Join us in celebrating Parkinson's Awareness Month by learning more about the innovative initiatives and partnerships that are making a difference in the lives of those affected by Parkinson's.
