A big thank you to Kyle Gaines and Sherri Hercules with St. Charles County Ambulance District for joining today’s Parkinson’s Support Group at Spencer Library! 🚨❤️
Led by our very own Amanda Schmidt, CarePlus & VA Program Manager, this Parkinson's support group offers education, encouragement, and connection for individuals living with PD and their care partners in the St. Charles area.
Today’s presentation covered:
✔️ Fall prevention strategies
✔️ The role of Mobile Integrated Health for those with chronic conditions
✔️ The File of Life—a simple, lifesaving tool that ensures first responders have quick access to resident's critical medical information and directives
✔️ SCCAD’s Rapid Access Safe Entry Program, designed to provide safe and timely access to a home during emergencies
