In celebration of World Parkinson's Day, teams from the Specialized Rehabilitation Center Anibal Barbosa Filho (CER II) held an awareness moment on Tuesday (16) among patients treated in the health unit.
The program included an information lecture on the characteristics of Parkinson's disease and treatment possibilities, as well as the goals of the multidisciplinary team regarding these patients, with special priority given to regaining independence and autonomy. A dialogue session was also held for socialization and expression of feelings through art therapy.
According to the Managing Director of the CER II Centre, Fernanda Delgado, about 15 patients with the disease receive systematic monitoring by a multidisciplinary team in the unit. However, it highlights that not everyone is aware that this support is available and can be enjoyed for free.

And they should look for us.”
