Please join me in welcoming our new Executive Director Mary C. Schoeffel
On behalf of the board of directors, I am thrilled to announce the appointment of Mary C, Schoeffel as the new Executive Director of the Parkinson’s Association of SWFL.

Mary brings with her a remarkably strong background as a Certified Professional Fundraising Executive, in addition to a wealth of knowledge and experience in successfully leading non-profit human services and arts organizations. We believe Mary will provide the leadership and direction to build on the enormous growth our organization has experienced over the past few years.
We are confident Mary is the right leader to work alongside our dedicated staff, board, volunteers, and our entire community as we enter a new phase of growth and opportunity.

I hope you will join me in welcoming Mary to our organization, and take the opportunity to join us at our 22nd Annual Step-Up for Parkinson's Walk on February 13, 2021, where you will have the opportunity to meet Mary in person.

Sincerely,

I look forward to the opportunity to meet and work with all of our members, volunteers, and the greater Southwest Florida Community. Please reach out to me if you have any questions, or if I can be of any assistance to you.

I look forward to meeting everyone at our 22nd Annual Step-Up for Parkinson's walk.

Sincerely,

I was really stressed by Acid reflux issues with my newborn and had consulted Chief Dr Lucky. He gave us a thorough consultation and the medicines were equally effective. In a couple of weeks there was big improvement in my son and we are very pleased with the progress. We cannot thank Chief Dr Lucky enough. Highly recommended.

My grandma has Parkinson’s disease, she is about 75 years old it was detected 7 years ago. Right now it’s getting more difficult to live for her, because of stiff muscles she can’t even move. L-dopa and carbidopa medicines are given, but won"t give much relief. She can"t eat food and the skin is damaging forming ganglia. I thought this might be the last stage and the medications she was given did not help at all, so I started to do alot of research on natural treatments, I was introduced to Health Natural Centre and their Parkinson’s Herbal Protocol. She started on the Parkinson’s Treatment last year, her symptoms gradually diminished including her Tremors, Body Weakness and Muscle Pains. Reach them at healthnaturalcentre.org , She is getting active again since starting this treatment, she is able to walk again ( down the street and back ) and able to ride her treadmill again! God Bless all PD Caregivers. Stay Strong, take small moments throughout the day to thank yourself, to love your self, and pray to whatever faith, star, spiritual force you believe in and ask for strength. I can personally vouch for these remedy but you would probably need to decide what works best for you.
