The RVNAhealth Parkinson’s Center is designed to help you live your best life with a Parkinson’s diagnosis.

With the help of the RVNAhealth Parkinson’s Center you can live a productive and active life where you take control and make the choice to live well with Parkinson’s Disease.
As a member of the RVNAhealth Parkinson’s Center you will have access to Certified LSVT clinical therapists including physical, occupational and speech; a medical team which includes a dedicated medical doctor, registered nurse and registered dietitian, a team of mental health professionals, a resource library which will provide local and national resources along with a video library of exercises and support tools and a monthly newsletter and access the RVNAhealth Continuum of Services.
