Margie - I'm from Kansas, so can't point you to a specific support group on Long Island. HOWEVER, I think I can help. Have your friend call the office of: Dr. David Eidelberg North Shore University Hospital Movement Disorders Center 444 Community Drive, Suite 206 Manhasset, NY 11030 516-869-9527 If you ask for Jennifer or Debbie at that number, they may be able to steer you to a support group. If not, they might be able to take your number and give it to one of their other Parkinsonians who can then call you with the info. Hope this helps. (Another) Margie Swindler
