The B.C. Parkinson's Association is the umbrella that ties all the support groups together. The Support Group Co-ordinator is Jacquie Sankhoff and she (& the B.C. P.D. A.) can be contacted by telephone at (604) 662-3240. The Early Onset Support Group has members on the north shore as well as most other areas of the city. Early Onset meets at Willingdon Church in Burnaby (usually 2nd. Saturday of every month) and I am a member. Movement Disorder Specialists?? We are particularly blessed in that regard. Dr. Donald Calne's group at UBC is world renowned. Dr. Calne just hosted the 13th. International Congress on Parkinson's Disease July 24th. - 28th. right here in Vancouver. Dr. Jon Stoessel & Dr. Joseph Tsui are highly qualified neuros at UBC. I hope this answers your queries................murray [log in to unmask]
