What Is PDEVV Hub?

Parkinson's Disease is one of the worst things I've witnessed in my life. There are no words to describe how devastating it can be for families. Like many families, there's not much common knowledge about the disease until it affects your family. Unfortunately, I have family members living with it, and recently lost a close family friend to the disease. In the tri-state, there are approximately 2,725 families who can also relate. Indiana ranks 11th on the list of states most impacted by the disease. My heart goes out to anyone who has to endure the grief associated with this disease. That's why PDEVV Hub was created. The acronym stands for Parkinson's Disease Evansville Hub. It's an amazing resource for families and loved ones dealing with the disease. The group offers a local place to learn about Parkinson's Disease and to get their questions answered. Check out their Facebook page and learn more.
