Parkinson's Disease Support Group

Living with Parkinson’s disease or another neurological condition can feel isolating. At Decatur County Hospital, we believe no one should face these challenges alone. That’s why we proudly offer a monthly neurological support group for individuals living with neurological conditions and their care partners.

Our goal is simple: Provide connection, education, and encouragement—close to home.

Each month, Decatur County Hospital in Leon, Iowa hosts a welcoming support group for those affected by neurological conditions, including:

• Parkinson’s disease

• Dementia

• Neuropathy

• Epilepsy and seizure disorders

• Other neurological conditions

Caregivers and family members are encouraged to attend.

During each gathering, participants will:

• Engage in guided conversations led by DCH staff

• Learn practical coping strategies for daily life

• Hear from occasional guest speakers

• Share experiences and encouragement with others who understand
