Steady and Strong Parkinson's Program

The Metropolitan YMCAs of Mississippi 's Steady and Strong Parkinson's Program is supported by a community grant from the Parkinson’s Foundation. This program is offered at NO COST to Parkinson’s patients and their families and has 32 current participants on the roster.
